New party could see over ten MPs join in major headache for Labour

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.”

    The reason he has said nothing concrete is that he has nothing to say.

    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.
