Zarah Sultana, the Coventry South Member of Parliament, has resigned from the UK's Labour Party after 14 years to co-lead a new left-wing political party with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Sultana cited opposition to the current Labour government's support for Israel's war on Gaza and described the Westminster system as broken and complicit in genocide. She and Corbyn have expressed intentions to create a party offering an alternative to the existing two-party system, focusing on peace and social justice. While Sultana announced the co-leadership and launch of the new party, Corbyn initially expressed surprise and did not immediately confirm his involvement, stating that discussions were ongoing. Subsequently, Corbyn confirmed plans to build a new political party as a hard-left alternative to Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party, emphasizing that "real change is coming." The new party is expected to attract disaffected Labour voters, particularly those dissatisfied with Starmer's leadership and policies. Political analysts suggest this development could fragment the left vote in the UK and potentially impact Labour's electoral prospects ahead of the 2029 general election. The party's name has not yet been announced, and internal disagreements have been reported between Sultana and Corbyn's camp regarding the launch and leadership roles. The move reflects broader tensions within the Labour Party and the UK political landscape, with some commentators highlighting the potential loss of the Muslim vote for Labour as a consequence.
