The new commitment to unity comes hours after Mr Corbyn refused to call Ms Sultana a friend when asked during an interview sky NewsInstead, he said the pair were “colleagues in Parliament, and we communicate clearly and so on”,
After this, both the co-leaders of the party appeared in separate programs on the eve of the first party meeting.
But the former Labor leader insisted they had put their differences behind them. He told members: “Last night here in Liverpool, we had a number of events and Zarah (Sultana) spoke at a big rally, and I very happily and proudly sent a message to that rally – and I’m grateful it was read at that rally – of support and solidarity.
“I was at a poetry and music event at the Black E, and Zara sent a message there.
“As a party, we must come together and unite because division and disunity will not serve the interests of the people we seek to represent. This is the basis on which we now launch the party.”
His words come after a difficult start for the party, which was fraught with internal division as the membership dispute over Mr Corbyn and Ms Sultana led to a sour start and threats of legal action.
Ms Sultana complained that she had been made the victim of a “sexist boys club” after supporters were invited to officially sign up and give financial support to the party. But Mr Corbyn described the move as “unauthorized email” and warned members not to sign up via the link in a statement posted on social media just hours later.

He then turned his criticism towards his former party, as he objected to the way he and Ms Sultana were running your party with the “top down” nature of Labour.
He said: “I’ve had very top-to-bottom parties. I’ve spent my whole life in the Labor Party, mostly fighting the Labor Party bureaucracy. I don’t want to repeat that in your party. I don’t want to repeat that experience.”
Mr Corbyn then criticized Labour’s new immigration crackdown, which also includes make refugee status temporarySubject to review every 30 months, and if their country is deemed safe, those claiming asylum will be deported back to their home countries.
“We have to challenge the government,” he said. “They have fueled complete hatred towards refugees. I say to all those who thought they would get something better. Think again. What you are seeing is an attack on human rights.
“What you’re seeing is an attack on our civil liberties. We’re not joining that attack. We’re on the other side of that.”
Recent Home Office decisions by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood have praised the reform, with former Conservative MP Danny Kruger, who defected to Nigel Farage’s party, saying in the Commons earlier this month: “I welcome the rhetoric that the Home Secretary has announced.”
But Mr Corbyn rejected Labour’s hardline stance and other recent policy changes, telling party members in his speech: “If you want to defeat Reform, you don’t do it by copying Reform. You don’t do it by attacking jury trials, by taking away our civil rights or our right to protest. We need something radical, a socialist alternative, rather than the fake populism of Reform or others. And it’s on us to provide that, our “Depends on the party, your party.”
