      >Some allies of Corbyn believe Sultana was trying to mount a leadership bid for a party that has not yet been officially founded by signing people up.

      Shouldn’t it be obvious when she announced herself as „co-leader“ alongside Corbyn?

      The trouble here is that Sultana expected Corbyn and his allies to just accept her as leader and fuel her personal ambitions with no expectations of their own. Her own political capital was mainly derived from being seen as Corbyn’s chosen heir. Now that it’s clear she isn’t, why would anyone back her?

      It is hilarious how much effort is poured into something that will have so little impact on the world. Corbyn has wasted every opportunity he’s had.

    3. To think this man was the leader of the opposition during the most consequential years in the recent political history. We were never going to make it.

      Its an impressive speed run we are at the bitter recrimination stage before they picked a name. To be fair to Corbyn he was quite happy with his mates in the independent group of MP’s before Sultana announced they were forming a new party which clearly came as a surprise to him. He has bless him tried to make a go of it but the political differences were never going to be reconciled.

      >However, they still believe there is appetite for a new left-wing party

      Correct. Any chance it can be an entirely different group of people instigating it?

      No, not you, Diane

    7. In other news, the green party is getting close to 80,000 members up from 60,00 in April. People are realising it’s the party of the left

      I think this whole mess is just caused by Sultana jumping the gun on making announcements that really should be pre-checked by everyone before being made.

      She I think is one of those people who take whatever’s being said in casual conversation too seriously considers it to be set in stone and goes ahead with making public announcements

      Everything I’ve read suggests that Sultana is the issue.

      She’s been quite the loose cannon, and thats why she was ‚frozen out‘ as she kept taking unilateral decisions rather than waiting, like the collective of MPs all agreed to do.

      I wonder what % of the comments in this thread were written by Akehurst and McSweeney

    11. Maybe i dont understand this becouse i am not british but isnt „the greens“ the more left wing party then labor? Why form a new party and not join them?

      It was never going to work. Corbyn could fall out with his own shadow.

    13. Maybe trying to launch a progressive party with a bunch of socially conservative MPs you share one stance with wasn’t a good idea.

      This man was the leader of the opposition for years. Now…this. Incredible. The rise and fall of Jeremy Corbyn will be told in the future as either a comedy, or a tragedy. No in between.

      Lost to Teressa May, got obliterated by Johnson. Yet says „we won the argument“ despite losing Labour heartlands. I get he may have got more actual votes than Starmer but he wasn’t strategic about it.

      Too idealistic, too decisive as a personality and has no idea how to tap into popular narrative or handle compromise.

      I actually voted for him the Johnson time as he was the best choice out of all the candidates.

      Time he gives up the game as he’s had more goes than most on politics and has blown it every time.

      Always though he’d be pretty ok as senior minster as part of a team but he probably wants to be the main man always.
