[Politics] Corbyn launches new party to 'take on rich and powerful'

[FRIDAY THE 13]

 

 

Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is launching a new political party to "take on the rich and powerful" and campaign for the redistribution of wealth.

The independent MP for Islington North said the party - which does not yet have a name - would offer an alternative to the "control freaks" of Labour and the "dangerously divisive" politics of Reform UK.

Earlier, Corbyn issued a joint statement with Zarah Sultana, who recently quit Labour to become an independent MP, saying: "It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you."

Responding to the launch, a Labour Party source said: "The electorate has twice given its verdict on a Jeremy Corbyn led party."
