After a rather botched party launch attempt in which Zarah Sultana appeared to force Jeremy Corbyn into letting her co-lead a new left-wing group, speculation abounded about what exactly this outfit would look like – and even what it would be called. Well, the wait is over; the name has been announced. The new harbinger of the left-wing revolution is called…Your Party. Way to underwhelm, eh?
Only apparently it’s, er, not called ‘Your Party’ – despite Sultana and Corbyn’s social media statement directing supporters to ‘your party.uk’. While most X users came to the same conclusion, Sultana has returned to the site to rage: ‘It’s not called Your Party!’ Could the launch of this new group really get any worse?
In a statement posted to social media, the pair fume the injustices facing Britain can only be tackled with a ‘mass redistribution of wealth and power’. Hitting out at the ‘great dividers’ of society, the dynamic duo say they want to ‘tax the very richest in society’ and bring ‘energy, water, rail and mail into public ownership’. In an upcoming conference, the MPs promise to allow their membership to decide the party’s direction, leadership model, policies and of, course, donate. At the end of their two-page letter, the lefty MPs promise: ‘Real change is coming.’ Where have we heard that one before…?
Given the confusion caused by Sultana and Corbyn over the party’s name – and the fact they claim it, um, still doesn’t have one – Mr S would be rather interested to hear readers’ thoughts on what the new lefty group should be called. Just don’t make any references to Zarah’s name – apparently that’s racist…
