Zarah Sultana has resigned from the UK’s Labour Party after 14 years to lead a new party with former Labour leader and independent MP Jeremy Corbyn.
“Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party,” she said in a statement on Thursday evening local time.
“Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.”
Sultana cited the Starmer government’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza as a reason for leaving, saying that “this government is an active participant in genocide. And the British people oppose it.”
You are talking about the only politician daring to oppose the Israel lobby, is that correct?
The whole premise of our discussion is whether or not he is planning to co-lead a party with other politicians who oppose the Israel lobby! So, no! Manifestly not!
The premise of my argument is that Corbyn most definitely has actual positions. In fact, he has the strongest of positions.
Again, I find myself having to explain sentences to you. He has nothing to say ‘in this context, about this thing, which is the subject of our discussion’ is not the kind of clarification I should have to append to my every utterance, I feel.
Weird to call him dim and narcissistic for this then.
