Jeremy Corbyn has hinted he could launch a political party alongside other leftwing independent MPs in an attempt to offer “an alternative” to Labour, before the next general election.
Speaking on ITV’s Peston programme, the former Labour leader confirmed discussions were under way among the Independent Alliance group of MPs that he co-founded last year.
Asked directly whether they were preparing to form a new party, Corbyn did not rule it out. “That grouping [of independents] will come together, there will be an alternative,” he said.
Great, let’s split the vote even more, to the benefit of Reform.
A party whose leader just the other day said that he thinks gay marriage was a mistake and shortly before that was talking about restricting womens’ right to an abortion.
Fucking brilliant. I hope people enjoy a Reform government.
