Labour has launched a scathing attack on Jeremy Corbyn in a sign that Sir Keir Starmer is taking the threat posed by his former leader seriously. Mr Corbyn is set to become the leader of a group of six MPs in Parliament,

A petition on the 38 Degrees website has called on the Labour Party government to take action and ditch proposals.

The letter is being organised by the Labour backbencher Sarah Champion, who also sits as the International Development Committee Chair.

Jeremy Corbyn has claimed 200,000 people have now signed up to register their interest in his new hard-Left party. Mr Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, his fellow now-independent MP, launched a new movement on Thursday that will fight Sir Keir’s Labour at a national scale.

Labour Party senatorial candidate Chris Omofoma dismisses claims of factionalism, insisting there is no division and disowning Paul Okojie.

Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed that he has launched a new political party alongside fellow independent lawmaker Zarah Sultana. In a joint statement published on X on Thursday, the two said that the system was “rigged” when the current government “says there is no money for the poor, but billions for war”.

The ruling Labour party and upstart rival Reform UK both opened the door to a potential increase in the retirement age, a move that would help cut the government’s costs but almost certainly draw a backlash from the public.
