Corbyn'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.
- A recent More in Common poll suggests the party could gain around 10% of the vote, mainly drawing support from Labour and the Greens and potentially reducing Labour's share to 20%.
- 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.
