To be called the "Islington Social And Socialist" party

Horrible racists the pair of 'em

[gruffalo]

This should be good for a laugh!

[Heaveho]

If you're comfortable voting for a proven anti-semite and a willing sidekick, crack on. Plenty people have already shown their willingness to vote for the sidekick from a previous opposition, namely Starmer, so I'm sure it'll be an anti-semites unite wet dream. It's just a question of how many racist pricks vying for supremacy the country is willing to tolerate or support.

Best I've heard so far is Jezbollah.

Screams echo chamber to me.

What's the point? What would success look like?

[philv]

Success for this country would be them taking votes from labour.
Anything and everything to stop this shiftiest beIng reelected.

[KAgantua]

Fully support this.
Hopefully they suck all the trots out of labour and they can go back to their working class roots

I'm sure she has her raisins for doing it.

Yep-that's the name they should go for.

[Rufus Stone]

Corbyn is 76, he should step aside and let someone younger represent the constituency.

I can't wait to see all the folks in the USA threads who complained that geriatric white men should not be in charge of anything suddenly trying to explain how this is different.

She's MP for Cov South so fairly local to me and her announcement was posted to a Warwick Facebook group.
I was shocked at the support for her, to be honest. A huge following of very disgruntled labour voters.
It's incredible how polarised politics is even within the Labour party.
And the minority group of a minority is shouting very loud.

Gaza independent MPs.

I’m a bit confused by the beeb’s article.

They say Corbyn is forming a new party with her. But at the end it says the alliance already exist, the other MPs in it are Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain, and Iqbal Mohamed.

This is the intriguing alignment of Islam and anti-west/anti-capitalists (for want of a better word which isn't Communist or Socialist or "Left") which has been forming over the past few years. True "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" stuff! It'll be interesting to see how much they're emboldened to display their dislike of the Jewish. I can't see many Muslim voters sticking with Labour if there's now their own party. Burn baby, burn!
