Independent MP Adnan Hussain has withdrawn from Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana's Your Party, citing “veiled prejudice” against Muslim men.
In a statement released on his social media account, Mr Hussain said he believed in "building a political home with mass appeal" and wanted to challenge the "rise of far-right rhetoric, and the increasingly hostile, racist, and marginalising environment."
"Regrettably, the reality I encountered has been far from this vision," he wrote.
"The culture surrounding the party has become dominated by persistent infighting, factional competition and a struggle for power, position and influence rather than a shared commitment to the common good.

"Instead of openness, cooperation and outward focus, the environment has too often felt toxic, exclusionary and deeply disheartening."
He continued: “I have also been deeply troubled by the way certain figures within the steering process, particularly Muslim men, have been spoken about and treated.
“At times the rhetoric used has been disturbingly similar to the very political forces the left claims to oppose. I witnessed insinuations about capability, dismissive attitudes and language that carried, at the very least, veiled prejudice.”
Mr Hussain alleged some individuals of "generalised accusations and offensive slurs".

"It reflected a broader pattern of clique-like behaviour and gatekeeping across sections of this movement, an approach that is neither inclusive nor capable of creating the kind of broad movement needed to win mass support or deliver meaningful political change," he added.
The Blackburn MP also detailed being drawn into "very serious and damaging internal disputes" on "organisational conduct and governance".
Because of this, he suggested he was unable to serve constituents with "absolute clarity and integrity".

Mr Hussain confirmed he was to remain in Parliament as an Independent and remain a "dedicated member" of the Independent Alliance.
The resignation comes just hours after Your Party released a statement on Thursday evening, bemoaning that their "capacity has been severely restricted" due to insufficient funds.
Mr Hussain's name, along with Mr Corbyn's, was on the statement.
After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to step out of the steering process for Your Party.

Despite raising potentially hundreds of thousands of pounds through supporter-led donations, threats of legal action and consistent fighting has marred the party.
Mr Hussain, a former Labour Party member, stood as an Independent MP at the 2024 election, bidding a "a growing movement" for "a different politics" in Britain.
He overturned a Labour majority of 18,000 votes.
