Dianne Abbott has said she will join him. Prolly taking many Tower Hamlet voters over with her? Again, Boris would be delighted.

I don’t think it would really happen either tbh, I think the Oh Jeremy Corbyn ship sailed a long time ago.
There’s no doubt though that he has quite a lot of supporters, and those that favour a hard left sort of Labour that could take away seats from Labour at a GE in certain places, mainly London.

There are Anniebach but they are dwindling. I honestly think this is the best thing that could happen.

Anniebach Mon 10-Jan-22 10:50:51

There are still Corbyn devotees

I think some of you are assuming that millions of Labour voters and many MPs would follow Corbyn, and it would split the party down the middle. I don’t think that would happen

Didn’t Arthur Scargill set up a far left leaning party just before donning his safari gear and heading off in to the political wilderness.,

lawdy! Not sure who’s the daftest - him or his brother!

Good, I hope he does it, then Labour would be free to move forward with consensus.

Urmstongran Mon 10-Jan-22 10:47:21

He would indeed.

Yes, it would mean a Conservative government for ever!

Anniebach Mon 10-Jan-22 10:42:19

Boris would be a very happy bunny.

If it splits the Labour vote it will just ensure another Conservative Government (if he were able to get candidates to stand in constituencies around the Country)

Communism perhaps.

lemongrove Mon 10-Jan-22 10:38:43

It would split the Labour vote ( in a small way) but maybe that’s what he hopes for?

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.
