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.

There are over 160 billionaires in the UK - vast majority are male.

The richest 50 families hold more than 50% of the wealth.

There are more than 3.1 million children living in DEEP poverty.

This is repulsive isn’t it?

I really do want the wealth and power to be redistributed, and I will sign up to a party with a clear plan to do just this. Good luck to Jeremy and Zarah.

But what happens is those rich can afford good lawyers/move out of UK so in the end it's the middle earners who are hammered for tax, yet again because "wealthy" morphs into anyone earning more than someone else.
Middle earners are the cash cows for the left and it just stifles aspiration . Why break your back just to be constantly targeted and attacked? It's happening now under Labour and Corbyn would be Labour on speed.

Of course it’s not saying future politicians can’t do the same. But people were adamant the Tories would be safe for the economy and wouldn’t give left wing parties (with a fully costed manifesto) a chance.

If redistribution of wealth means more money for schools, NHS and the care system it’s hard to be against that.

That 'if' is doing some heavy lifting there.

It really is easy to be against that. It doesn’t work. The UK is shedding jobs because Labour have decided to raise taxes on work to pay for god knows what, benefits probably, which is redistribution. It’s going to be a painful few years and the country will be poorer for it.

The same Labour who tried to cut disability pay until MPs rebelled against it.

Thanks for the link! I've signed up and made a donation.

Very helpful of you, signposting this for left-wing supporters who currently feel disenfranchised by the UK's current political parties.

👍 maybe he can use it to hire a PR manager.

Although who knows where that donation has actually gone.

And this is how extreme right wins: divide the vote for the left, tories still not recovered, reform wins and we get a lovely Trump franchise

That works.

Twiglets1 · 24/07/2025 17:30

I'm hoping that at their conference Sultana & Corbyn sing a duet together to the tune of Elton John's Your Song.

And you can tell everybody
This is Your Party
It may be quite simple, but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world.

Quite, not sure that the existence of Liz Truss somehow absolves all future politicians of the requirement to be vaguely competent.

Liz Truss trashing the economy isn’t a car crash or disaster, but a left wing party is?

He’s a fool. I mean I’m not fussed if they want to form a political party, well within their rights to. I’m looking forward to it, should be amusing.

Can anyone really say this with a straight face after continuous Tory PM changes and Liz Truss?

Yes of course they can. Many successive Tory car crashes do not in fact make it any less likely for other parties to be car crashes in the future.
