Corbyn-Sultana Party Gains 600K Supporters Challenging UK Labour

Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have launched a new left-wing political party, Your Party, which has rapidly attracted over 600,000 sign-ups, significantly outnumbering Labour's paid membership. The party seeks to offer a clear and simple alternative to the current political landscape, focusing on social justice, equality, and challenging the established economic system favoring corporations and billionaires. Polling experts suggest the party could perform well under the UK's first-past-the-post system, but question its organizational readiness for upcoming elections and note some surprise within the Labour ranks about the launch. Corbyn has expressed willingness for cooperation with Labour's rebellious backbench MPs but ruled out an alliance with the Greens, indicating a fractured left political landscape. Despite Labour MP Brian Leishman's suspension over welfare bill rebellion, he remains committed to Labour and does not plan to join Corbyn and Sultana's new party, highlighting ongoing tensions within the left. The new party positions itself as a force representing ordinary people’s power and hopes to challenge the dominant two-party system, appealing to voters disillusioned with current political options.
