Corbyn's new party - is it happening and could it damage Labour?
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 5 – Nigel Farage criticized Labour leader Keir Starmer after Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana announced a new socialist party that could capture 10% of the vote, splitting Labour support.
- 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.

From one angle, her decision may seem simple. Discontent with Keir Starmer’s Labour government, on everything from welfare cuts to Gaza, has never been higher, and Sultan…
