Piers Corbyn is known for pushing conspiracy theories - why on earth is he on the Your Party ballot after wanting to 'stop the boats'

Piers Corbyn, brother of Jeremy Corbyn, is officially on the ballot for the Your Party Central Executive Committee (CEC) in elections ending 5 January. This is despite Piers’s links to various conspiracy theories.

A pale imitation of his younger brother

Corbyn passed the ballot with 103 votes as an independent yesterday. Since then, people have raised their concerns:

Piers Corbyn is a climate change denier who has been protesting outside refugee hotels alongside fascists of late. The fact that he’s allowed to be in YourParty, nevermind that he has been endorsed for its CEC by 102 London members, is shocking. https://t.co/jZBIpwk87p

Do you see what we’re getting at here?

Is this really who Your Party wants?

The presence of Piers on the ballot poses a significant question for Your Party members.

Will the membership reject his toxic brand of conspiracy-led politics?

Or, will Piers find a powerful new platform for his controversial views?

It all feels a bit ‘nepo sibling’ to us.
