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.

    The biggest risk is the left wing history of rejecting parties over individual idealism. Such a party can only have any effect if the left is willing to come together over disagreements. Much as the right will to avoid the left.

    I think they are. Jeremy Corbyn is not exactly my favourite person in the world but if it means getting an actual left-wing government and willing to support him nonetheless.

      Possibly. We really need to wait for polling data. And that will be limited until name.etc is settled.

      Membership would also be a huge info point is these numbers are willing to join. I will. But anything close to Corbyn labour membership numbers will indicate stronger support.

      Personally I do like Corbyn as a person. But think he is unskilled as a politician. I’m glad he is not talking about leadership on his own. He has too much baggage.

      So far I’ve liked his partners approach to anti semitism accusations.
