Another MP quits.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdd57e924meo

A second MP has announced he is leaving Your Party, a new left-wing group set up by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and former Labour MP Zarah Sultana.

In a statement on social media, Iqbal Mohamed did not say why he was leaving but made reference to "false allegations and smears made against me".

The Dewsbury and Batley MP said British politics needed "a genuine, inclusive force for positive change" and expressed the hope that Your Party could fulfil that role.

Your Party has been approached for a comment.

Mohamed's departure comes a week after Blackburn MP Adnan Hussain said he would be "stepping away" from Your Party, citing a "toxic" culture towards "Muslim men".

Sultana announced in July that she was leaving Labour to set up a new party with Corbyn, saying it was time to challenge the "broken" Westminster system.

However since then the group has been mired in factional in-fighting including a row over the handling of £800,000 of donations.

I wonder if he's seen what happened to the other guy. Might be easier to defend his seat against Galloway and co if he's not on the hook for Zarah's social liberalism. Not criticizing Zarah (for once) but seems like she'd have been a better fit in the Greens.

Were these Jeremy Corbyn 'smears?' The press repeating stuff he'd said and done.

Even the Greens have standards...
