This Thursday saw former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s confirming that he and Zara Sultana have launched a new left wing party after weeks of discussions, aimed at taking on the “corporations and billionaires” and their “rigged system”.
In a joint statement announcing plans to form the new party, Corbyn and Sultana vowed to fight injustices such as child poverty, giant corporations making "a fortune from rising bills" and the government saying "there is no money for the poor, but billions for war".
Westminster journalists have described the launch of Jeremy Corbyn’s new party as “chaotic” and “a shambles” in drafts written the day before the launch. Yet over 300,000 people have now signed up in less than 24 hours. Not bad for a political party that hasn't even been officially founded yet! And the reason the party doesn’t have a name year is that the organisers want the name itself to be democratically chosen.
Tentatively dubbed Your Party— it also hopes to challenge Keir Starmer's Labour from the left and unite disaffected progressives under a populist, anti-establishment banner. The launch, which has been months in the making, promises to shake up the landscape ahead of the next general election. But for Corbyn and Sultana, this isn't just about internal Labour disputes. Central to their platform is an unflinching pro-Palestinian stance—a message that stands in sharp contrast to Starmer's especially as Labour faces mounting criticism for its position on Gaza.
'Now, more than ever, we must defend the right to protest against genocide,' Corbyn wrote in Thursday's joint statement. 'We believe in the radical idea that all human life has equal value. That is why we will keep demanding an end to all arms sales to Israel, and for the only path to peace: a free and independent Palestine.'
Sultana added: 'We can't continue down the road of managed decline and broken promises. This is about building a democratic movement that truly speaks for the people.'can't continue down the road of managed decline and broken promises. This is about building a democratic movement that truly speaks for the people.'
The group intends to bring together independent MPs, grassroots campaigners and trade unionists under one umbrella. Of course ‘Westminster journalists’ have given negative reports. The incumbent authoritarians don’t want anyone challenging their capture of the UK legislature. Remember their the same journalists that propagated the anti-Semitism scam! The same journalists that have barely covered the atrocities in Gaza, and more than likely failed to read the launch doc or understand it, probably on purpose and are best ignored.
Jeremy and Zara are honest and principled leaders who speak for millions. Millions who want to tax the rich, end the wars, take on the rich and powerful, redistribute wealth, and build a country that serves people, not billionaires. Here’s the sign-up link, if you’re interested in getting involved, read the launch statement or just staying updated on their progress :https://www.yourparty.uk/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Polls show the new party is already somewhere between 10% and 20% of the vote and potentially level pegging with Labour.
Neil Kinnock calling the new Left party a 'Farage assistance party' that would 'assist the parties of the right', including Badenoch’s Conservatives and Reform UK is a joke .His party opened the door to Farage in the first place, and there is an easy solution as a failing brand, Labour should step aside.
David Lammy and Keir Starmer will never be able to change the historical record. They drenched the Labour party in the blood of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, and it seems to me highly unlikely that most of the 9.7 million who voted Labour in 2024 wanted a government that continues ruinous austerity economics; keeps spreading economic illiteracy; mugs pensioners; economically sanctions disabled people; takes lavish handouts and freebies from their dodgy, mega-rich backers; supports and enables a downright evil civilian starvation programme in Gaza; and eliminates our long-standing British rights to free speech and non-violent protest (in service of the overseas civilian-starvers).
I support a new genuinely militant force that takes them out of power. One that is also against austerity, war, racism and oppression. It's been so funny watching the right, the centralists, and the establishment losing their shit because Jeremy and Zara have formed this new left of centre party. A party that will put the working and precariat class before capitalism and corruption. They can smear, they can panic, all they like but they can’t stop a movement whose time has come.
Our political establishment is a truly craven comprador class whose role is to facilitate the exploitation of ordinary people and will do everything in it's to stop this changing, but slowly and surely for the sake of the next generation we must find the means to bring them down, the establishment parties have failed us, now me must fight for the greater good like our lives depend on it. Westminster and the establishment are panicking, and so they should be, as we the people are coming to take them down.
Personally I believe the so called democratic system of Westminster to be broken and electoral politics seem to be at a dead end in this present time, but it’s still good to have an organised movement for left wing people to coalesce around. Especially if it can remain pure and for the people.
I myself would like to see Scotland, Wales and NI all go our separate ways, and forge a new radical independent autonomous future. So will also remind people here in Wales of a new pro-independence, anti-capitalist organisation called Cymru’n Codi {Cymru Rising) that's also worth taking a look at: https://rising.cymru/2025/06/13/join-us/ a socialist alliance that has been set up to fight around the 2026 Senedd Elections and beyond.
At the end of the day wherever we live we need a radical new direction, putting people first based on justice and human dignity one that brings about hopefully actual, long lasting meaningful change. Bring it on.
