Your Party CEC votes no confidence in three officers but fails to reach supermajority needed to strip them of their roles

Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, of Your Party, take part in a discussion on Your Party, their new political party, at The World Transformed conference, at Niamos Radical Arts Centre in Hulme, Manchester, October 10, 2025

The Your Party executive committee (CEC) no-confidence vote exclusively revealed by Skwawkbox last week took place on Sunday.

The specially-arranged CEC meeting, to hold no-confidence votes in three key officials, was fraught and lasted almost three-and-a-half hours. Yet it ended without a clear conclusion, forcing members to ask party leaders to respect a clear majority vote that just failed to reach the required threshold.

The issue was a vote of no confidence in three figures blamed for the suspension of three well-known CEC members for attending a socialist conference. A number of members left the meeting rather than participate, but the no-confidence motion was supported by a clear majority of those who voted.

A screenshot of an 'Update from 12 July's special CEC meeting' that explains the meeting was held 'this evening' and attended by 14 CEC members at its peak. 13 members voted 'no confidence' in Jenn Forbes as chairperson, 12 members voted 'no confidence' in Dawn Aspinall as secretary, and 11 members voted 'no confidence' in Cassi Bellingham as membership officer.

Your Party votes fails to reach supermajority

However, the tallies did not quite reach the two-thirds supermajority required to force the removal of the three officials. This has forced the CEC to ask leadership to respect the majority vote, which has rendered the CEC near-unworkable.

'It is our collective hope that the leadership of the party acts on the outcome of this constitutional meeting, so that we can work together to build the party our members hoped for - and that this country deserves' - the message reads.

After a meeting in which efforts to put off the vote appealed to Jeremy Corbyn’s claimed wishes, CEC members don’t expect a decisive intervention. Your Party’s chaos continues, when the country is desperate for socialist clarity.
