Jeremy Corbyn is considering establishing his own political party after privately accepting he will never be reinstated as a Labour MP, The Telegraph understands.

The former Labour leader has been urged by many in his inner circle, including his wife Laura Alvarez, to upgrade his charity into a political party, and run under its banner at the next election.

Petition

Blair lieutenant – and now an advisor to current Labour leader Keir Starmer – Peter Mandelson 10 entries little black book.

Starmer seems to think there’s nothing amiss with this.

So there’s a petition calling for Mandelson’s Labour Party membership to be suspended while an independent investigation into the extent of his involvement with Epstein and Maxwell’s sex trafficking, paedophilia and sexual blackmail enterprise takes place.

Visit the petition page to see seven reasons Mandelson’s behaviour should be investigated.

Maybe just keep Momentum.

At least it’s clear what the new party would stand for.

The euphemisms I mean.

I think I’ve been overstayed with flagons tonight ?

New Promised Land has a certain ring to it but won’t appeal to the atheists within the Party ( sorry Casdon)
How about the ‘New Marxist Party’ or even ‘The Old Marxist Party’ ? Or, ‘The Little Red Book Party’?
This breakaway Party isn’t going to happen is it....at least not with Corbyn as the front man.

Unlike the rest of the Song of Solomon ???????

Will Corbyn comfort me with apples? I know he has a large allotment ( not a euphemism btw) grin

Peasblossom Tue 11-Jan-22 22:34:37

It’s a bit ironic isn’t it, considering that the Prmised Land was for the Hebrews?

Casdon

trisher and Grany Our lives will be quieter when you go with Corbyn to the New Promised Land Party, but I hope you’re happy in your new home.

New Promised Land Party

You win, Casdon.
No-one could argue with that name, whether supporters or cynics.

Casdon Tue 11-Jan-22 21:04:58

That’s why I called the Corbyn Party that! One party for idealists, one for pragmatists.

Grany Tue 11-Jan-22 21:02:56

Ain't got no promised land with Starmer though have you just broken promises hmm if you want to get personal smile

Desmond Tutu because of his views on Israel would be expelled from the Labour Party by Starmer.

Starmer has been throwing Jews out of the Labour party since he became leader. But that isn't antisemitic is it? They are of course the "wrong sort of Jew" www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/labour-antisemitism-jewish-opponents-israel-targeted

I assume his Marxist friend John (Bleed 'em all dry) McDonnell will continue to be his best friend in this new party. God help us if we have a penny to our names.

We don't now. So no difference there then.

I take your point MaizieD. But it's intended as an insult. I really just wish the right-wing on here could pick an actual real fault of the left wing and use that, instead of lazily resorting to completely untrue stereotypes. Lack of thought. Does that mean lack of political understanding?

How is this for a story then, apart from the antisemetism rumours that still circulate

Turnips are brassicas and swedes are roots

Try arguing that down in Devon!!

I'm quite excited and we should be helping by thinking of names for the new party!

Suggestions on a postcard please

Here is my suggestion on a postcard:

The Raving Loony Turnip Party

?
Too close to the Official Monster Raving Loony Party, I'm afraid.
And there would be too many heated discussions about when is a turnip not a turnip, when is it a swede?

More suggestions please.

Turnips are brassicas and swedes are roots,

Quite different.

I thought everyone knew that?

GagaJo Tue 11-Jan-22 17:35:09

As I said MaizieD, no actual thought going on.

Peasblossom Tue 11-Jan-22 17:33:49

The Contempt for the “Bloody-minded Electorate” Party.

That’s how I feel about it anyway.

Yes, and the other party too. Nothing to choose between them in that respect

GillT57 Tue 11-Jan-22 17:32:51

Why turnips?
