All 12 members of the Interim Scottish Executive Committee (ISEC) have unanimously left their roles and pledged to help form a new party. Niall Christie, the sole Scotland rep on Your Party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC), has also resigned with immediate effect. Full statement below (1/2)
ISEC update
Your Party Scotland
Interim Scottish Executive Committee in mass resignationInterim SEC Resignation
Monday, 13 April, 2026
Last December, after the Liverpool founding conference, a group of representatives from Your Party Scotland proto-branches were chosen by members to form the Scottish Conference Organising Group (SCOG). After our Dundee conference, SCOG became the Interim Scottish Executive Committee (ISEC) as per the documents passed by the conference and became the interim leadership of YPS. 

We were all volunteers from different parts of the country and immediately started to work closely together. Some of us didn’t know each other, some had never been actively involved in politics but we all shared a common goal: to deliver a strong, structured and member-led founding conference, and we succeeded. We drafted the Your Party Scotland founding documents, which were then amended by members through assemblies and ratified at our Dundee conference in February.At the conference, members voted to stand candidates at the Holyrood election in May, we voted in favour of organisational independence and dual membership, and we voted for an elected SEC to be in place by the beginning of April. Since then, we have faced constant undermining and delays by the UK party. 

Our clear asks to progress our conference mandates have been consistently ignored, resulting in our inability to run candidates in the Holyrood election and to elect a permanent SEC. Scotland’s sole CEC rep on the CEC has been consistently excluded and overruled on Scottish matters without basis. Requests to discuss these issues with Your Party’s leadership across Britain have been resoundingly ignored. The most egregious example of their disdain towards our members came when the UK party overruled the decision made at conference to stand in the Holyrood elections by rerunning the vote mere days before the deadline after ignoring our simple requests to progress this work for weeks beforehand.

The email sent to Scottish members last Friday afternoon from Your Party UK is the final insult.Having ignored Scotland’s elected representatives, blocked the Scottish party from standing in our national elections, and prevented Scottish members from electing an executive, the UK party informed members of their plan to install an unelected leadership over members’ heads which it appears will re-examine decisions already voted on and settled by Scottish members. It is absurd to expect a political party in Scotland can be dictated to by England, and it is antidemocratic to try and overrule any outcomes the ruling English faction simply does not like.  

As a result of this consistent denial of autonomy for Scotland, and a willingness by the UK leadership to sideline an entire nation by withholding funding and mailing lists and refusing to engage, we have, after careful thought and consideration, taken the collective decision to resign our positions on ISEC, having found ourselves completely blocked when we attempted to carry out the clear mandate set for us by members from across Scotland.

Earlier this week we saw blatant anti-Chinese racism from one of Labour's MPs right here in Glasgow, while the political establishment fawned over his use of biscuits to talk down to the public. Your Party will stand up to all forms of racism, supporting the thousands of Chinese people in Glasgow.

But clearly, the Prime Minister is more bothered about keeping his own job in Number 10 than rooting out the bigotry among his own ranks.”

Want to influence and affect decisions that impact you in Glasgow? Come to our Councillors' Assembly next Wednesday, November 26, to help decide what Glasgow's socialist councillors vote on in the City Chambers. Book now: ticketpass.org/event/EXAQWV...
It will soon be a month since Your Party got its first councillors in Glasgow. In October, Seonad Hoy, Dan Hutchison and Leodhas Massie defected from the Scottish Greens, giving us three councillors on Glasgow City Council. 

It’s been a busy month for the trio: appearing at their first Full Council; winning new seats at the table for trade unions at the council; forming a Councillor Liaison Group (CLG) with the branch to work going forward; even challenging the SFA on Scotland hosting Israeli footballers. 

Now, they are hosting their first Councillors’ Assembly with Your Party Glasgow members and supporters, and we want you to join us. 

At this event we will discuss potential motions to Glasgow City Council that our three councillors could take forward, and the decision on which one of these is  submitted will be put in your hands. 

This will also be a chance for you to meet Glasgow’s biggest ever group of socialist councillors in person, discuss how we can work together as a branch and councillor group, and how we work best for everyone in Glasgow.

Young people aren’t just part of this movement, they must be the engine driving it. From trans rights to a party that backs renters over landlords, the fight for maximum member democracy matters so we can build a party led by its members, not MPs. I had a great time in Manchester discussing this!

Last month I wrote to the Foreign Secretary about the detention of British journalist Sami Hamdi by U.S. authorities — a deeply troubling case for press freedom and human rights. I’m relieved to hear that he’s set to be released and will return home to his family soon.
House of Commons headed letter:

The Rt Honourable Yvette Cooper MP
Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs
Sent via email

29 October 2025

Dear Foreign Secretary,

Re: Urgent concern regarding the detention of British journalist Sami Hamdi by U.S. authorities

I am writing to raise my serious concerns about the case of Sami Hamdi, a British citizen, journalist and political commentator whose visa was revoked by the U.S. Department of State and who was subsequently detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at San Francisco International Airport.

Mr Hamdi entered the U.S. on 19 October 2025 on a visitor visa for public engagements and was on a speaking tour when his visa was revoked on 24 October 2025. Shortly thereafter, he was detained by ICE and is pending removal.

Advocacy groups including the International Federation of Journalists have expressed serious concern that his detention appears to be linked to his public commentary and criticism of Israeli government policy and U.S. foreign policy alignments.

Given the profound implications of this case for free expression and human rights, I urge you to:
• Raise Mr Hamdi's case at the highest diplomatic levels with your U.S. counterpart as a matter of urgency.
• Request immediate formal consular access to Mr Hamdi.
• Press the U.S. authorities for a full and transparent explanation of the grounds for his visa revocation and detention.
• Demand Mr Hamdi's return home safely without delay.
• Publicly challenge the apparent use of immigration enforcement as a tool of political repression.

I appreciate your urgent attention to this matter and would welcome any updates on the steps that can be taken to ensure Mr Hamdi's safe and immediate return home to his family.

Yours sincerely,
Zarah Sultana MP
Member of Parliament for Coventry South
