    Cliff Notes

    • Independent MP Zarah Sultana has announced the formation of a new political party, co-led with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, following her resignation from the Labour Party after 14 years due to her suspension.

    • Sultana emphasised the party’s aim to challenge wealth inequality, declaring that “50 families now own more wealth than half the UK population,” and called for a unified political alternative for the underrepresented.

    • She remains critical of established political figures, labelling Nigel Farage a “billionaire-backed grifter,” while asserting that current government actions against dissent and solidarity, particularly regarding the Palestine question, reflect a broader failure of the political system.

    .

    An MP who was ousted from the Labour Party has announced she is setting up a new political party with Jeremy Corbyn.

    Independent MP Zarah Sultana said she and the former Labour leader will co-lead the new party, which she did not provide a name for.

    She said other independent MPs, campaigners and activists from across the country will join them, but did not name anyone.

    Ms Sultana also said she was “resigning” from the Labour Party after 14 years.

    She was suspended as a Labour MP shortly after they came to power last summer for voting against the government maintaining the two-child benefit cap.

    Several others from the left of the party, including Mr Corbyn, were also suspended for voting against the government, and also remained as independent MPs.

    Ms Sultana was still a member of the Labour Party – until now.

    Mr Corbyn has previously said the independent MPs who were suspended from Labour would “come together” to provide an “alternative” party which will be about “a society that deals with poverty, inequality and a foreign policy based on peace not war”, he told ITV on Wednesday .

    The other four independents are: Iqbal Mohamed, Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan and Adnan Hussain.

    Mr Corbyn and the other four independents have not said if they are part of the new party Ms Sultana announced.

    In her announcement, Ms Sultana said she would vote to abolish the two-child benefit cap again and also voted against scrapping the winter fuel payment for most pensioners.

    Ms Sultana also voted against the government’s welfare bill this week, which was heavily watered down as Sir Keir Starmer tried to prevent a major rebellion from his own MPs.

    On Wednesday, Ms Sultana spoke passionately against Palestine Action being proscribed as a terror organisation – but MPs eventually voted for it to be.

    She said to proscribe it is “a deliberate distortion of the law to chill dissent, criminalise solidarity and suppress the truth”.

    The MP also shouted: “We are all Palestine Action.”

    Ms Sultana said they were founding the new party because “Westminster is broken but the real crisis is deeper – just 50 families now own more wealth than half the UK population”.

    She called Reform leader Nigel Farage “a billionaire-backed grifter” leading the polls “because Labour has completely failed to improve people’s lives.

    The MP signed the letter off with: “In 2029, the choice will be stark: socialism or barbarism.

    “Billionaires already have three parties fighting for them. It’s time the rest of us had one.

    “Join us. The time is now.”

    The MP, who has spoken passionately about Gaza, also said in her letter: “Across the political establishment, from Farage to Starmer, they smear people of conscience trying to stop a genocide in Gaza as terrorists.

    “But the truth is clear: this government is an active participant in genocide. And the British people oppose it.

    “We are not going to take this anymore.”

    A Labour Party spokesperson said: “In just 12 months, this Labour government has boosted wages, delivered an extra four million NHS appointments, opened 750 free breakfast clubs, secured three trade deals and four interest rate cuts lowering mortgage payments for millions.

    “Only Labour can deliver the change needed to renew Britain.”
