Getting suspiciously close to “there’s a pigeon in your bank account and we just need you to transfer all the money to us so that we can clean your bank account”.

It’s totally innocent 😇.

    So, hang on, Sultana has basically run two rounds of scamming donations that she has then withheld??

    This story is about initial donations made at the start of the group’s founding, while more recently she set up her own donation portal for everyone to register for paid membership.

      No, as in both cases the money was funneled into a company set up by, amongst others, a J Corbyn. Neither Corbyn nor Sultana control this company, and the claimed intent was to make the funds independent of the party politburo. Or something.

        Did you read the article?? The board of the company managing all of the initial investments resigned en masse, leaving Sultana as the sole director of the company that has all that money. Literally the 3rd fucking paragraph:

        While Your Party was being formally registered, the money was collected by MoU Operations Ltd - which is now run by Sultana.

        She also has sole control of the membership money, as she set that up herself without input from Corbyn.
