In a remarkable surge, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and MP Zarah Sultana have co-founded a new left-wing political movement—provisionally called Your Party—which has already attracted over 500,000 sign‑ups within days of launching. This means it’s now outpacing Reform UK’s membership totals, although Your Party does not require paid membership.
Corbyn describes the launch as more than politics—it’s a “people-powered” movement for equality, democracy, and peace. Organizers envision democratic leadership structures chosen by members, starting with an inaugural conference in the fall
Why This Matters:
- The movement challenges traditional party lines—Labour’s centrist tilt under Keir Starmer, in particular—and aims to prioritize socialist values like public ownership, wealth redistribution, and robust pro-Palestine policy
- It signals growing discontent with the two-party system, and creates pressure for Labour to reckon with its identity and grassroots base
- While some rebellion exists within factional structures—reports suggest Corbyn and Sultana had strategic disagreements at the outset—the momentum remains high
What Comes Next:
- Your Party plans a public conference to finalize its structure, leadership model, and policy platform.
- Analysts predict early polling support between 15–25%, enough to disrupt politics ahead of 2029 elections
Whether you’re in Dearborn watching international politics, or advocating for stronger democratic platforms here at home, this development is worth tracking.
