  "account": "Police in London are investigating a dispute related to the establishment of a left-wing political party called Your Party, according to a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police. The investigation began in September 2025 after a report of \"alleged unauthorised access of a political party’s database.\" A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of an offense under the 1990 Computer Misuse Act, but he was released pending further inquiries and has not been charged. A woman in her 30s was also interviewed under caution in connection with the same investigation. Though the Metropolitan Police did not name the political party involved, sources familiar with the case confirmed the dispute was connected to the founding of Your Party. The party was co-founded in summer 2025 by former Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn and former Labour MP Zarah Sultana, who are now MPs in the House of Commons. The dispute surfaced over an email sent to around 800,000 people on the party's mailing list, which Corbyn described as \"unauthorised,\" while Sultana claimed her intention was to \"safeguard the grassroots involvement that is essential to building this party.\" Neither the arrested man nor the interviewed woman are MPs and neither have been charged with any offense. Corbyn and Sultana are not accused of any wrongdoing. Your Party's spokesperson stated that it was \"not appropriate\" to comment further on the ongoing police investigation, but reassured members and supporters that their systems are secure and this was an isolated incident.",
