*Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have confirmed the launch of a [[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/23/jeremy-corbyn-hard-left-party-vote/ new hard-Left party]] to fight Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour.* *The former Labour leader and his fellow now-independent MP said it was “time for a new kind of political party” in a statement on Thursday.* *The pair have invited voters to sign up to the Left-wing faction via the website yourparty.uk, although The Telegraph understands the new project will not be called Your Party and that its name is to be confirmed.* Will this split the Labour vote? What do we all think?

I know about Corbyn and he’s socialist, left but not hard left.

Show quote history

Yes, he is hard left. He is also a terrorist sympathiser.

Corbyn sympathisers keep challenging posters to say what ‘hard left’ is.

So, if you don’t think Corbyn is hard left, what is?

Is it a “hard left” party? I wouldn’t trust the Torygraph’s assessment!

Who knows? I’m a centre-left voter who welcomed Starmer and has been disappointed. I thought Corbyn was useless. His failure to strongly oppose Brexit was a disaster. He never truly appreciated the antisemitism issue and always believed that since he was a good leftist he couldn’t be one or support any.

Starmer is in a fiscal straitjacket that he inherited from the Tories but he has no real ideas for getting out of it. Unfortunately Corbyn is going to promise lavish spending with no real ideas of how to pay for it in a country where wages have been stagnant since 2008.

And yet in 2019 he outlined in forensic detail exactly how he would pay for it.

Genuinely, why are people so upset about Gaza but not Sudan etc? Why are human rights on foreign shores a British problem when it's Gaza but not China, some African countries etc?

That's an easy question. Because Britain was instrumental in creating the very political circumstances that have led to the Israel-Palestine conflict, and perpetuate the fallout of that conflict by selling arms to Israel.

The protesters are not just saying it's a bad thing. They're saying what they want the British government to DO, ie stop selling arming Israel.

Apart from which I think you'll find JC has as strong a record as any MP of supporting human rights struggles all over the world.

As a Tory voter this is gold dust. Long may he split the left.

Just to be clear on this: Corbyn is not "splitting the left".

Starmer did that by ejecting Corbyn from the Labour party, withdrawing the whip from other left Labour MPs, and launching a ruthless witchhunt against a huge portion of his own membership, getting them thrown out of the party on all sorts of contrived pretences.

There seems to be an odd idea floating around that when faced with that blatantly authoritarian and narrow-minded denial of the left's right to democratic representation, the left are duty bound to go crawl under a rock and say "yes sir, if you say so".

I've signed up to the new party. Personally I would have been happier if Starmer did what he said he was going to do when running for the Labour leadership, united the party around the values of the 2019 manifesto, engaged in constructive debate across factions and continued the party's long and venerable tradition as a left-to-centre-left "broad church".

But sadly it was not to be, and that's not Corbyn's fault. He actually attempted to do more than any recent leader to democratise the party and increase the ability of members across the political spectrum to work constructively with each other.

Hasn't Farage been doing the same? His manifesto is said to cost 90bn and that rises exponentially when you consider his new prison plans, benefit plans and renationalisation.

Never underestimate the strength of idiots and antisemites in this country

Or being against genocide, bombing hospitals and starving children.

Its been proven the antisemitism against Corbyn was a tactic to get him out and false. Unless you agree with what’s happening?

Not everything is about Gaza, Brits are allowed to worry about the state of their own country too.

You've made a good point. I remember during the 2019 election which Corbyn lost, some people from a safe Labour seat said that they wouldn't vote Labour, for the first time ever. When asked why, one of them said "because he cares more about Palestine than he does about people at home".

@Blossomtoesso what.It doesn’t stop someone being an mp, because of their age.

I bet my house it won’t get off the ground and will be a distant memory by the next GE - at which Corbyn will be 80.
