Jeremy Corbyn

Zarah Sultana discusses why a new left party is necessary, what kind of democratic structures it should have, and its parliamentary and extra-parliamentary aims.

Two prominent left-wing British MPs, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, have issued a joint statement to announce they are setting up a new party.

A new left party is on the cards, but it is unclear what is going on behind the scenes. Simon Hannah looks at the bigger issues a new party needs to address.

Phil Hearse — As Britain grapples with the aftermath of its recent general election, the political landscape is shifting dramatically. With the Labour left marginalised and the far-right Reform UK surging, the implications for Britain's future and the international scene are profound.

Richard Seymour — A majority without a mandate, and a landslide that isn’t a landslide. Labour won 64% of the seats with 34% of the vote, the smallest ever vote share for a party taking office.

Phil Hearse — Left-wing mirth at the Tories’ farcical election launch should be tempered by the likely vote for far-right Reform UK and the determination of the Labour leadership to crush the last remnants of Corbynism.

Phil Hearse examines the rapidly shifting political landscape that the increasing likelihood of a Starmer-led government is bringing about.

Jeremy Corbyn — My support is for Lula, the Pope, the Chinese president, and the general secretary of the UN, who are trying to get a peace process going on.
