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.
Hard agree. Hopefully Corbyn has learned that Mamdani style left populism works. Laser focus on bread and butter and just hold the line on foreign policy. That makes the bad faith attacks that WILL come hollow. When you are asked about “but are you antisemitic” you pivot directly to “we will fund programs to combat anti-Semitism at home” and when they say how to fund them you say you will cut immoral military subsidies to oppressive foreign regimes.
