The Information Commissioner's Office has told Jeremy Corbyn's Peace and Justice Project that Zarah Sultana's unauthorised launch of Your Party's membership portal in September may constitute "serious criminal activity" requiring police investigation.

The drama unfolded when Sultana sent emails to 800,000 people promoting £55 memberships without authorization. Corbyn quickly issued an "urgent message" calling the site "unauthorised" and seeking legal advice.

While the ICO declined to investigate directly, it advised referring the matter to police and fraud authorities. Sultana dismissed the concerns Friday, claiming the ICO "dropped the case" and vowing to continue building what she calls the UK's largest socialist party since the 1940s.
