The reason Labour didn’t beat Boris thinks he has a chance to win an election with a new party.
I hope he does and if it performs dreadfully in an election maybe people will stop saying how popular him and his ideas are with the electorate.
> Corbyn said any new party would focus on poverty, inequality and a foreign policy “that’s based on peace rather than war”.
Im somewhere to the left of Labour but this is why it will fail. What about the current geopolitical situation tells us that talking it out stops war.? It hasnt worked in Ukraine, it hasnt worked in Gaza and it hasnt worked with Iran
Good luck to them I guess. If they manage not to tear themselves apart just choosing a name for the party i’ll pay attention
Be nice if he buggered off to live in Russia or Iran already.
Look, as someone who supports Corbyn for years now, this isn’t going to work. He is fucking 76 years old. Some of the Independents that he works with are much closer to the Galloway lot than the socialists Corbyn has come to represent. Most of them voted against decriminalisation of abortion FFS!
These independents function much better as independents, local voices for local communities in Parliament. The moment they get into a larger national political project they lose that. Corbyn needs to find a way to work with the younger Labour or ex-Labour left-wing lot, like Zarah Sultana, Clive Lewis, Apsana Begum, raise their national profile and let them lead the socialist project after his time has passed.
I voted for Corbyn, but he’s yesterday’s man. This is a farce and a waste of time.
I can already see this thread will have very normal responses.
That’s what we need is more splits on the left. Perhaps we can make a people’s front of Labour?
Isn’t the Monster Raving Looney Party already a thing?
This is so fucking stupid. At a time where left-wing people are starting to gather around the Green party, this would only end up dividing that vote and help Labour and Reform clowns.
Ah yes, split the left wing vote even more making it easier for Reform to win, great plan Jeremy
Exactly what we need, more left wing factions to dilute the left wing vote, meaning beating the right wing parties gets harder and harder.
Even when Reform popped up, the right was still united enough that they seem to have taken most of the Conservative base and even gained some, this doesn’t and never will happen on the left.
To be fair it would be nice to see a left wing party.
Also nice to see people talking about this as though Corbyn is the soviet union. „Ideological purity“. Catch yourselves on lmao, everyone wants to see politicians represent them but for some reason when it’s left wing people they talk about it like Corbyn is Beria or like purges ever happen.
If anything, it was the centre/right of Labour that went for ideological purity and did the purging, but people have memory holed that already.
Further dividing the left leaning parties will only split the vote further in favour for reform.
Unelectable old trot seeks to undermine Labour party from without
Ftfy
Great, can he take all of the toxic unions with him?
Decent idea as something to put some leftward pressure on Labour, but Corbyn is the wrong leader. The UK left needs someone younger and more charismatic and inspiring, like a British version of the US politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, to be the face of their movement. (Plus, Corbyn’s position on Ukraine will be [rightfully] repulsive to a lot of voters who might otherwise be on board.)
He has learned nothing from watching Trump or his own failures (he should have gone the first GE he lost but selfishly clung onto waste everyone’s time).
I actually partially blame him for the Tories going mad under Johnson as he was an ineffective opposition so they ran amok rather than being challenged consistently.
Quite why he hasn’t shuffled off into retirement yet I don’t know as whatever your beliefs are across the political spectrum, he’s proven time and again he isn’t the solution.
I was fully expecting a lot of the comments to be a variation of „leftists are obligated to vote for the Labour Party, so they should shut up and do so“ and I was not wrong.
Great, split the left of centre vote and ensure Reform/Consertives win the next election. A brilliant move.
The man who lost not one but TWO elections. Hilarious
Incredible how, after 14 fking years of middle ingerland rule, so called leftwing vote want to go back to it. Democracy and idealism will not combine to produce the result you want.
Alright domestic policies but terrible foreign policies.
The more options to choose in our democracy the better!
Who’ll fund it? Will the party condemn Hamas, Iran and russia?
All this will do is pull some current Labour voters over, and diminish their polling power. This man needs to disappear away from politics, he’s the reason we got Boris.
I can understand the idea of a new party to take labour’s place since local elections showed that people are less than impressed with them (the Tories much the same) but the man whose policies broke the red wall and gave the Tories a majority during his last election probably isn’t the man to be at the head of it. I don’t think the greens nor the lib dems are up to the job but you’re splitting the vote even more here.
I’d like to see more genuine opposition against the current parties. I may not swing that hard left, but a keeping leaders honest is the point of an opposition. However, isn’t this guy a career back bencher? What would make him a good leader? Like I never found him particularly good at leading when voted leader of labour.
