Well, yes, but sign-ups just require supplying an email address, while Labour Party membership requires paying. We’ll have to see how many sign-ups turn into paying members.
Sure and when Signing up to a mailing list becomes the same as being a actual paid up member it’ll actually matter.

“Sign ups”
You mean giving an email address to receive further details?
This is signing up for an email newsletter. Not actual party members.
More people have a Tesco Clubcard than there are labour members, doesnt mean people would vote for them.
LMFAO
This is some of the most Corbyn and Anti-Starmer biased reporting I’ve ever seen.
They’re comparing people who have signed up for a newsletter to get free email updates…. to paid members.
It’s actually unbelievable how hard the media are trying to tear down the current Labour administation.
Run by a 76 yo that 6 years ago couldn’t work a full day without taking multiple naps, this party wont exist come the next election.
Remember when Chuka Umuna et al tried something similar? What’s the real difference here?
Yes, as every one here is saying, you can’t really compare the two figures. However, you also can’t just discount their 600,000 signups as just for a news letter or as fraudulent. There is clearly a large appetite for this party. Lets say they made the lowest membership option a few quid a month, i don’t see why a large amount of this 600,000 wouldn’t join. If half of those (currently) signed up became members, the party would be the largest in the UK.
All of the comments on this post just repeat exactly the same thing, “sign ups are just emails, call me when it’s paying members”.
This is extremely misleading. It’s apples and oranges. Having someone’s email address and having someone pay a membership fee to belong to your party is completely different level of commitment.
Its not a new party yet, its a mailing list that is intending ti become a party.
I think he’s a very principled man and fights for what he believe in which is admirable, but i can’t forgive his stance on Brexit and his parties abject failure to to present any sort of opposition to it.
Yeah… That means nothing when membership requires more details than a „sign up for more information“ email form. A lot of the people signing up are probably the media and other interested parties wanting to know more, than actually wanting to be a part of a party which is a relatively unknown entity at the moment.
Very typical run before they walk article.
We’d be a much better country with Jezza as PM. He has honesty and integrity in abundance and isn’t a sleekit vote chaser like the other politicians.
Everyone in the comments explains the title as if we don’t have basic reading comprehension but only they do.
>increased defence spending at the cost of welfare.
He has to go and spoil it.
Russia is waging war in Europe, Ukraine at the moment with an outside chance they might attack Norway at some point. The US is no longer a reliable ally. There are increasing tensions in the middle east, which we don’t necessarily have to get involved in but we might need to for strtegic reasons.
Nobody likes having to spend money on defence, but if we can’t defend ourselves then the concept of providing welfare could become irrelevant in the future.
As an indie videogame developer I too would be tempted to conflate signups with sales. It would make me seem waaaaaaay more successful.
In truth I’m mixed about Corbyn and his party; but this is still dishonest reporting regardless.
Good luck to them. Hoping they don’t squander a lead by making silly mistakes.
Honestly, in my lifetime it would be nice for politics in this country not to be demanded by what occurs in the middle east. Fuck me I’ve had it with 9/11, Iraq, Gulf Wars, policing the fucking waters over there because they keep blowing up shit. And now over the past 2 years Palestine has been at the forefront of Council meetings when really I just want my bin colours to be uniform across all council districts so people stop putting the wrong shit in my bin!
IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
What is harder to solve. Uniform bin colours across the UK or the Palestine question?
