The former Labour MP said there was a “toxic culture” after one of her supporters was denied entry.

Your Party rejected her claims, with a spokesman saying: “Zarah isn’t being pushed out.”

Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn opened the conference with a call for unity.

Members will vote on a shortlist of potential names including Your Party, Our Party, Popular Alliance and For The Many.

The two-day conference in Liverpool has been overshadowed by infighting and threats of legal action.

Two Independent MPs withdrew from the party’s founding process.

Internal struggles in Your Party started from the off.

Back in July, Corbyn refused to confirm who would lead them.

Jeremy said “discussions are ongoing” after MP Zarah Sultana quit Labour and said she would be joint boss.

Ex-Labour leader Mr Corbyn, 76, was thrown off guard by socialist pal Ms Sultana’s announcement.

She said: “Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other independent MPs, campaigners and activists.”

But within hours, splits emerged as Mr Corbyn said details of the party’s structure are not decided.

He was thought to be sceptical of imposing a hierarchy, which clashes with communist ideals of collective decisions.
