US EditionCorbyn's new party - is it happening and could it damage Labour?
- On July 3, 2025, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana announced plans to co-lead the founding of a new left-wing political party in the UK.
- This development follows years of Labour's internal conflict, including Sultana losing the whip in 2024 and Corbyn's re-election as an independent that same year.
- The new party will include independent MPs, campaigners, and activists, focusing on socialist policies addressing housing affordability, public services, and inequality.

- This emergence may significantly disrupt Labour's voter base, risk splitting the left-wing vote, and potentially benefit Reform UK, reshaping the government landscape ahead of future elections.

Could Gaza unite the new left against Keir Starmer?
As the Labour government fits and reels, the left is organising. A week of disastrous climb-downs and workarounds from the government and their whips delivered a Pyrrhic victory over Starmer’s welfare bill. But – most visibly with tears on the front benches of the House – the Starmer administration looks and feels exhausted. This is an opportune moment for Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn, two of the party’s most popular and most rebellious forme…
Corbyn speaks out about Sultana’s announcement – but still vague about new party
Jeremy Corbyn has publicly commented about independent MP Zarah Sultana's announcement that she has left Labour and will "co-lead the founding of a new [left] party" with Corbyn - but a careful reading does not confirm that a new party is imminent, or mention leading, instead using 'help'.
