Zarah Sultana Leaves Labour Party to Co-Lead New Party with Jeremy Corbyn

An insurgent threat to the Labour Party faced chaos as its launch turned into infighting. Zarah Sultana resigned from Labour and announced she would co-lead a new left-wing party with Jeremy Corbyn. Sultana, a vocal critic of Keir Starmer, had been sitting as an independent after losing party support.

Corbyn was reportedly surprised by Sultana's move and commented later, stating ongoing discussions about the new party. He hinted at forming a new party to offer an alternative political view, potentially attracting 10% of left-wing voters and impacting Labour.

Sultana announced her resignation from Labour and partnership with Corbyn on social media. She criticized the current political system, emphasizing the need for change and a new direction. Corbyn praised Sultana's decision, expressing excitement about building a new political alternative.

Corbyn, who has been an independent MP since his suspension from Labour in 2020, has been working with various groups across the country. He emphasized the need for a society addressing poverty, inequality, and promoting peace over war. He expressed willingness to serve the people but did not confirm if he aimed to lead the new party.
