Jeremy Corbyn Advocates for New Leftwing Party

Jeremy Corbyn has addressed a meeting focused on forming a new leftwing political party called Collective. The initiative, joined by significant figures like Len McCluskey and Jamie Driscoll, aims to contest seats in the next general election and foster future leaders. Organizer Pamela Fitzpatrick emphasized the need for a strong leftwing movement in response to rising right-wing influences and shifting political landscapes.
Jeremy Corbyn has addressed a meeting focused on forming a new leftwing political party called Collective, accompanied by former Unite general secretary Len McCluskey and other independent candidates.

The initiative seeks to nurture future leaders who could succeed Corbyn as a figurehead of the left, with plans to contest seats in the next general election.

Key figures at the meeting included former North of Tyne mayor Jamie Driscoll, Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur Rahman, film director Ken Loach, and anti-apartheid activist Andrew Feinstein.

While not all attendees are in favor of a new party, organizers believe it's crucial to respond to the rising right and shifting political landscape.

The movement, spearheaded by Pamela Fitzpatrick, intends to draw up democratic structures, launch a mass membership drive, and gain trade union support.

Corbyn's Peace and Justice project will play a significant role, although it remains unclear if his alliance with four pro-Gaza MPs will merge with the new party initiative.

With Labour facing criticism under Keir Starmer, the new party aims to fill the emerging void among leftwing activists.

Great news! A true progressive party needs to step in. Labour are no longer the party for workers! They are the party of work. Their attacks on vulnerable people are their latest failing to the people who put them in power. Starmer is a liar.

fantastic. What the public have been waiting for. Labour is not representing working class values anymore. Labour under Starmer is as toxic as the Tories in power, if not worse.
