Zarah Sultana said she will call off legal action announced as part of a bitter feud at the top of her fledgling party with Jeremy Corbyn.
The MP on Sunday acknowledged people felt âdemoralisedâ after the row over her push for members to sign up to Your Party, the political outfit she established with Mr Corbyn.
Ms Sultana, who had claimed she faced a âsexist boysâ clubâ, said she was âdetermined to reconcileâ and was in talks with Mr Corbyn.
âFor the sake of the party, and as an act of good faith, I will not be pursuing legal proceedings despite the baseless and unsubstantiated allegations against me,â she wrote in a statement posted on X.
âI know many people are feeling demoralised â I share that feeling. We find ourselves in a regrettable situation, but my motivation has always been to ensure the collective strength of our movement, put members first and build the genuinely democratic conference and socialist party we so urgently need.
âI am determined to reconcile and move forward. I am engaged in ongoing discussions with Jeremy, for whom, like all socialists of my generation, I have nothing but respect.â
On Friday Ms Sultana said she had instructed âspecialist defamation lawyersâ after she was âthe subject of a number of false and defamatory statementsâ about her launch of the membership system.
It came after a message encouraging supporters of the outfit to sign up was disowned as an âunauthorised emailâ by Mr Corbyn.
Ms Sultana said she took the step because she had been âsidelinedâ and âeffectively frozen outâ by Mr Corbyn and fellow independent MPs Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain, Iqbal Mohammed and Shockat Adam.
The Coventry South MP added: âUnfortunately I have been subjected to what can only be described as a sexist boysâ club: I have been treated appallingly and excluded completely.â
