Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed that he has launched a new political party alongside fellow independent lawmaker Zarah Sultana.

In a joint statement published on X on Thursday, the two said that the system was “rigged” when the current government “says there is no money for the poor, but billions for war”.

The pair also cited UK complicity in Israel’s war on Gaza as reason for the need for an alternative party.

They slandered his name so much during the labour leadership.

It's about time he left a vile party.

He was already expelled from Labour. But yes, the organized attacks on him from the media and his own party were disgusting. I hope his new party is a success.
