Jeremy Corbyn, the former chief of plowing and figurehead of the left wing of this party, of which he had been suspended in 2020 after an internal report pointing to his inaction in the face of anti -Semitism, announced, Thursday, July 24, the launch of a new political training. “It’s time to create a new type of political party. One that belongs to you “he wrote in a long message on his X account by announcing the launch of « Your Party » (“Your party”) jointly with the deputy Zarah Sultana.
Jeremy Corbyn, 76, who led the Labor party from 2015 to 2020, has always claimed a very left positioning. Re -elected to the House of Commons in July 2024, he signed under the banner of the self -employed.
This announcement comes at a time when the government of Labor Keir Starmer, who had succeeded Jeremy Corbyn at the head of the plowing, faces criticism from the party’s left wing. At the end of June, the rebellion of nearly a third of the deputies on a reform of allowances for disabled people had forced Keir Starmer to abandon his project.
“The system is rigged”
“The system is rigged when 4.5 million children live in poverty in the sixth richest country in the world. The system is rigged when large companies make a fortune thanks to the increase in bills ”writes Jeremy Corbyn, deputy of Islington, district of northern London. “The system is rigged when this government says that there is no money for the poor, but millions for war”he continues, calling for “Tax the rich”.
Known for his support for the Palestinian cause, he once again expressed the policy of Keir Starmer on the subject, accusing him of “Complicity in crimes against humanity” clerk in Gaza. “More than ever, we must defend the right to protest against the genocide”he continues with reference to the banishment of the Palestine Action group. “We will continue to demand the end of all arms sales in Israel and the only way to peace: a free and independent Palestine”he writes.
Corbyn resigned from his post as head of the Labor Party after having obtained the worst results for decades in the 2019 general elections. The Labor Party, under the leadership of Keir Starmer, then suspended him in 2020, after he had refused to fully accept the conclusions of an investigation into allegations of anti -Semitism within the Party. He has always denied these accusations as a whole.
