MP Zarah Sultana who was ousted from Labour announces she is starting new political party with Jeremy Corbyn
- Independent MP Zarah Sultana revealed today that she is leaving the Labour Party to join forces with Jeremy Corbyn in leading a newly established political party.
- Sultana was suspended by Labour a year ago for opposing the two-child benefit cap and has been serving as an independent MP since that time.
- The new party will include other Independent MPs, campaigners, and activists and focus on addressing poverty, inequality, and a peaceful foreign policy.
- Sultana expressed that the problems with Westminster are only surface-level and emphasized a deeper underlying crisis, cautioning that by 2029 society will face a decisive choice between socialism and barbarism.
- This move challenges Labour’s centre-right shift under Keir Starmer and may split the left-of-centre vote ahead of the next general election.
