Corbyn clashes with Sultana over membership portal as split emerges in new party

Beat you by 1 minute

Sultana claimed the party was being run by a “sexist boys’ club” and suggested there were deep disagreements over how to launch party membership – including with the four other MPs in Corbyn’s Independent Alliance.

I'm amazed that a bunch of people with nothing in common besides Gaza might not be easy to make into a proper party.

Sultana realising Corbyn is a selfish old twat incapable of working with anyone is about as surprising as Warsi finding out that the Tories weren't open and inclusive after all.

I wouldn't actually blame Jez here. I think he's got a more realistic handle than Sultana on what a (non Greens) party of the left will have to look like, if party it's going to be, rather than a loose grouping. It'll be Gaza, Kashmir, family visas, broadbrush tax the rich, broadbrush pro small business, and broadbrush anti-war ("if Ukraine blah blah why not blah blah) not trans rights and social liberalism. I think he saw that Sultana didn't fit in from the start. Those MPs could well have Galloway on their case if they look too liberal in 2029.

Wilde on Little Nell, Windsor Davies meme, etc.

I don’t think that this “new party” is going to happen. Dead on its feet.

I think too much political capital has been put into it for it not to happen in some form. But I'll believe the radical model of members choosing all the policies when I see it. How could you possible put together anything like an economic prospectus on that basis? I'll believe it from The Greens when I see it too.

Considering how, for years, Corbynites moaned about how they were undermined by the Labour Right. The last few weeks have shown that to be absolute crap.

Portrait of an American trying to understand British Politics

Except that neither Corbyn nor Sultana is anything to do with the Labour Party.

The American Bluesky left hate the UK Government.

Was it here that I learned Piers Corbyn was joining YourParty?

Whatever, here he is with his comrades at Tommy's FashFest ranting about ID cards, small boats and, of course, Jews.

I don't know whether this person could be described as being part of the American left I noticed this post because an American I follow reposted it. BTL, he says that he admits that he doesn't know too much about our politics and gets his information from British people on there.

Piers has degrees both undergraduate and post, in astrophysics so I assume he must've at least once had some grey matter between his ears?

One wonders if a particularly potent dose of LSD in the 1970s begun his brain melting towards its current state.

Knew someone who worked in the same building as Piers Corbyn. One day there was a fire alarm evacuation and the fire brigade called. Top scientist Piers had stuffed frozen muffins in the toaster to thaw them out and hilarious consequences ensued.

Those muffins were actually Zionist bagels sent by the Illuminati to undermine him.

Apparently labelled “our party”….I’m surprised it’s gone like this, this quick.
