Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed that he has launched a new political party alongside fellow independent lawmaker Zarah Sultana.

In a joint statement published on X on Thursday, the two said that the system was “rigged” when the current government “says there is no money for the poor, but billions for war”.

The pair also cited UK complicity in Israel’s war on Gaza as reason for the need for an alternative party.

    Starmer just purges members that make too much trouble like Corbyn, and his majority is so big that he can’t really be opposed.

    There already is a major party that’s actually left wing, the Greens. Its not clear where this new party actually differs from the greens in terms of policy.
