The former leader of Britain's Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, announced on Friday he was in talks to start a new political party because Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government had "refused to deliver the change" voters expected during its first year in office.

High profile left winger Zarah Sultana has quit Labour and vowed to launch a new political party with Jeremy Corbyn. That, however, seems to have come as news to him.

J eremy Corbyn has said “discussions are ongoing” after Zarah Sultana announced she was quitting Labour to co-lead the founding of a new party with him. The former Labour Party leader congratulated Coventry South MP Ms Sultana on her “principled decision” to leave Sir Keir Starmer’s party.
