Sultana Corbyn party...

Question becomes sign-ups on what basis? Was it Miliband who changed the rules to allow anybody to buy a Labour leadership election vote for £3 ...

Or "register of interest" where virtually all reporters from every local rag together with pollsters, anybody with any political interest ... all wanting to find out what's going on and without any real support.

Or maybe genuine left leaning current and ex-Labour members. difficult to tell but lots of possibilities (if you are as cynical about politicians as I've become).

Corbyn and Sultana are known quantities - they are both left leaning, principled, and protectors of human rights. Their attitude on the rights of the Palestinian people, and the unlawful treatment of people who stand up and advocate for them will be appreciated by many people. That is an opinion based on matters I deem to be facts. Opinions can vary, should vary in a democratic society, and invariably will - though I'd like to think that a vast majority of the British people will say that genocide is inherently wrong.

Funnily enough, so did I. Helped keep Labour out of power for years

I would never have guessed that. 😂

I think Corbyn to be more of the more principled politicians. That doesn't mean that I'm saying our political views are aligned - just to say that before the usual suspects employ their usual devices.

But just to remind, Corbyn will be just shy of 80 years by the time the election is due. If elected he could hold that position to the age of 85, which without meaning to be unkind to older folk reading here, realistically that can bring its own challenges.

Indeed, rather like Trump (often alluded to on this forum), or, even Biden.

It’s time for a new kind of political party. One that belongs to you.

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 giant corporations make a fortune from rising bills. The system is rigged when this government says there is no money for the poor, but billions for war.

We cannot accept these injustices – and neither should you.

We will only fix the crises in our society with a mass redistribution of wealth and power. That means taxing the very richest in our society. That means an NHS free of privatisation and bringing energy, water, rail and mail into public ownership. That means investing in a massive council-house building programme. That means standing up to fossil fuel giants putting their profits before our planet.

Meanwhile, millions of people are horrified by the government’s shameful complicity in genocide. We believe in the radical idea that all human life has equal value. That is why we defend the right to protest for Palestine. That is why we demand an end to all arms sales to Israel. And that is why we will carry on campaigning for the only path to peace: a free and independent Palestine.

Our movement is made up of people of all faiths and none. The great dividers want you to think that the problems in our society are caused by migrants or refugees. They’re not. They are caused by an economic system that protects the interests of corporations and billionaires. It is ordinary people who create the wealth – and it is ordinary people who have the power to put it back where it belongs.

It’s time for a new kind of political party. One that is rooted in our communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.

Sign up at www.yourparty.uk to be part of the founding process, leading to an inaugural conference. At this conference, you will decide the party’s direction, the model of leadership and the policies that are needed to transform society. That is how we can build a democratic movement that take on the rich and powerful - and win.

Real change is coming.
