Keir Starmer’s Labour government has had a dismal first year in power. In an interview, socialist leader Jeremy Corbyn explains why it’s time to create a new left-wing party that empowers working-class people.

    It took 14 years and 5 prime ministers for them to realise how shit they were, and the best alternative they could think of was red Tory.

      I mean, it worked for them last time they got in as well.

      Tony Blair didn’t sweep to power under a banner of socialist reform. He got in by being slightly less shit than the people we were all sick of.

      Our electoral system keeps us in a cycle of this by design. And Farage will just be Tories Extra.

      I can’t really trust any of them. I suspect Corbyn would have an authoritarian streak a mile wide as well, but he’s not going to get in anyway.
