High profile left winger Zarah Sultana has quit Labour and vowed to launch a new political party with Jeremy Corbyn. That, however, seems to have come as news to him.

The former leader of Britain's Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, announced on Friday he was in talks to start a new political party because Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government had "refused to deliver the change" voters expected during its first year in office.

Jeremy Corbyn is to set up a new left-wing party alongside a former Labour MP. Zarah Sultana, who lost the Labour whip a year ago and currently sits in the Commons as an independent, announced the move on X.
