MP Zarah Sultana who was ousted from Labour announces she is starting new political party with Jeremy Corbyn
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 04 – Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana plan a socialist party to challenge Labour under Keir Starmer amid dissatisfaction over policies on Gaza, welfare, and inequality, with polls indicating 10% voter support.
- Independent MP Zarah Sultana has declared her departure from the Labour Party and revealed plans to jointly lead a new political party alongside former leader Jeremy Corbyn.
- Sultana left Labour after having the whip suspended last year for voting against the government on the two-child benefit cap and other key issues.

- This development suggests growing dissatisfaction with existing parties and a potential new political force ahead of the 2029 general election.
