Your Party launch by Jeremy Corbyn sparks debate over Labour’s future
News of the Your Party launch by Jeremy Corbyn has quickly stirred political discussion after the former Labour leader confirmed the name of his new movement and set out its founding principles. In a post shared on social media, he described Your Party as “a new kind of political party”, promising it would offer “a real alternative” and inviting people to join the founding process ahead of an inaugural conference.
The announcement followed former Labour MP Zarah Sultana’s decision to leave Labour earlier this month and her confirmation that she would work with Corbyn on a new platform. In his statement, Corbyn argued that the country’s current political system was failing ordinary people. He pointed to the millions of children living in poverty while, as he put it, “giant corporations make a fortune from rising bills”. He called for a redistribution of wealth and power, higher taxes on the richest, new investment in council housing, and an NHS free from privatisation.
Corbyn also linked his message to foreign policy, demanding an end to UK arms sales to Israel and describing his support for “a free and independent Palestine” as part of a wider commitment to equality. He emphasised that the movement would bring together people from all backgrounds, challenging what he described as a narrative that blames migrants or refugees for economic problems.
“It is ordinary people who create the wealth – and it is ordinary people who have the power to put it back where it belongs,”
he wrote.
The launch of Your Party adds a fresh layer to a political environment already shaped by shifting loyalties and debates over policy direction. While new parties face challenges in winning seats, they can influence conversations and push particular issues into the spotlight.
