It’s up and running today. The name of the new party hasn’t been announced yet.

This just now in the Telegraph:

“The former Labour leader and his fellow now-independent MP said it was “time for a new kind of political party” in a statement today.

The pair have invited voters to sign up to the Left-wing faction via the website yourparty.uk, although The Telegraph understands the new project will not be called Your Party and that its name is to be confirmed.

It comes after Mr Corbyn told activists that the new movement would be established in time to fight Labour nationwide at the local elections in May next year.

In a joint statement, Mr Corbyn and Ms Sultana said: “It’s time for a new political party. One that belongs to you. The system is rigged.”

Well well.
It will split the Labour vote for sure. Starmer won’t be happy.

Bob Crow did live in a council house in East London. He could have bought it with a very considerable discount and thus greatly increase his own wealth. Instead he chose to remain in it, paying rent, leaving it within public ownership. Quite understandably, very few council house renters refused the chance to buy their homes at a very significant discount. But it did mean that the property was then unavailable for any other would-be council renters.

During a clear-out I discovered a Labour leaflet for the European Parliament Elections, during the time of Teresa May.
The slogan, graced with a photograph of Jeremy Corbyn, looking very presentable in a suit and tie, stated:
Labour will bring our country together.....this election is your chance to vote Labour and tell the Tories you are fed up with their divisive austerity policies and incompetent government.

Change of government; same situation.
