Corbyn announces Your Party

His new political party with Zarah Sultana.

Except it doesn't appear to even have a name and now Zarah Sultana is having to go around twitter correcting journalists saying it's not called Your Party, while not actually clarifying what it is called.

I'm sure it will be extremely well organised.

His statement did not say that.

Soon, we'll host an inaugural founding conference so you can help shape how your party works, what it stands for, and how we organise to win.

When the lefties and the Blairites have left the Labour party there won't be much left. Which can only be a good thing.

If you put Labour in charge of the Sahara desert, within 5 years they'd run out of sand.

Unite have fell out with dear Ms Rayner.
So maybe they'll fund it. When it gets a name.
I think collecting money without a proper name seems skirting decency though.
You can't open a bank account without a name, so where would the money be going?

My DD is 12 and just told me how she and all her mates can't wait to vote for Corbyn’s new party at the next GE….

Have Corbyn or Sultana said something about their plans for education?

MyNameIsX · 24/07/2025 16:11

So.

We already have the Workers’ Party, the Socialist Labour Party, the Socialist Party and the Socialist Workers’ Party, and now Your Party.

Clear.

No wonder this country is doomed. Any potential for a party that will tackle education, NHS etc to improve actual people’s lives and all people do is scorn whilst in the same breath saying how terrible their child’s education is.

It wasn't a balls up. It is just that in the search for clickbait headlines, very few articles have bothered to report what he actually said which is that there will be a party conference held which will determine amongst other things the policies and the name of the party.

Zahra Sultana is my constituency MP . I think she does a decent job but I didn't vote for this. I understand that she signed a motion in the Commons supporting a by election if an MP changed parties. I wonder if she will still support this and call a by-election now?

Meanwhile they’re the only potential party promising to stop arming Israel and to try and stop the genocide. But yeah, let’s laugh at the name instead …..

This. How have we got to a place where those with morals and integrity try to use their voice and power and just get laughed at ?

That's the point. People thought (quite reasonably) that he had announced "Your Party" because that is the name of the website and he had given no further indication as to the name of the party that he was announcing.

It was a total balls-up on his part.

From what I’ve seen of projected vote shares they would take more votes from the Green Party than Labour, which makes sense as that’s where all the hard left wankers fled once Starmer got in.

It’s democratic socialism, not communism. It worked well here post-war, and Scandinavian countries or even Canada, haven’t suddenly become like North Korea. 🙄

I don’t think so. Labour won without those votes, they are clearly more concerned about Reform.

Show quote history

They also need to be concerned about voters who thought they were voting for a Labour Government, but now feel cheated because they feel they got another version of Tory. I don't think for one minute those voters will be voting reform, but they might well look for an alternative.

DiscoBob · 24/07/2025 15:41

I think it sounds great. I'd be interested. 'Your Party' is quite a good name really.
I respect Corbyn. He's a decent, fair man. Not that normal in politics.

The Party That Is Not Called Your Party isn't registered with the Electoral Commission - a bit difficult if you don't actually have a name I suppose - and they're already asking for money.

It's the Electoral Commission that oversees and regulates the financial affairs of political parties.

What could possibly go wrong.

They won as a protest vote against the Tories (understandably). I agree that Reform pose the existential threat, but there is a strong left wing, emboldened by their recent victory over PIP.

Starmer has a tough job made tougher - terrible ratings, a failing economy, immigration woes, and now Compo.

It’s delicious.

People sniggered and talked about it when Andrew Tate launched his ‘Bruv Party’.

It’s not generally a positive when people are laughing at you.
