Jeremy Corbyn has claimed 200,000 people have now signed up to register their interest in his new hard-Left party. Mr Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, his fellow now-independent MP, launched a new movement on Thursday that will fight Sir Keir’s Labour at a national scale.

Rother Valley, a mining community in South Yorkshire, had been in the party’s hands since 1918; in 1966, the Labour candidate won it with a staggering 77 percent of the vote.

Labour Party senatorial candidate Chris Omofoma dismisses claims of factionalism, insisting there is no division and disowning Paul Okojie.

Jeremy Corbyn’s new party will campaign to nationalise all banks, one of its organisers has said. Pamela Fitzpatrick, a socialist campaigner and confidante of Mr Corbyn, said his party would campaign on a “ruthless” and “unapologetic” socialist platform, going further than Labour’s “pretty mild” 2019 manifesto.

A petition on the 38 Degrees website has called on the Labour Party government to take action and ditch proposals.

Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed that he has launched a new political party alongside fellow independent lawmaker Zarah Sultana.
