Zarah Sultana RESIGNS from Labour and vows to start new party with Jeremy Corbyn

Zarah Sultana has resigned from Labour after 14 years to lead a new party with Jeremy Corbyn.

The Coventry South MP said she will co-lead the founding of a new party with Corbyn – as well as other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country. She also cited a long list of reasons for her exit, including the scrapping of winter fuel payments for pensioners, cuts for disabled people and the two-child benefit cap as well as the UK government being an “active participant” in genocide. In a statement shared to X on Thursday evening, Sultana voiced her frustration with the party, saying “Labour has completely failed to improve people’s lives.”

The 31-year-old wrote in her statement: “Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.”

“Westminster is broken but the real crisis is deeper,” she added. “Just 50 families now own more wealth than half the UK population. Poverty is growing, inequality is obscene and the two-party system offers nothing but managed decline and broken promises.

“A year ago, I was suspended by the Labour Party for voting to abolish the two-child benefit cap and lift 400,000 children out of poverty. I’d do it again. I voted against scrapping winter fuel payments for pensioners. I’d do it again. Now, the government wants to make disabled people suffer; they just can’t decide how much. Meanwhile, a billionaire-backed grifter is leading the polls, because Labour has completely failed to improve people’s lives.”

Jeremy Corbyn, MP for Islington North, speaks during protest over benefits cuts organised by People's Assembly on June 7, 2025 in London, England. Activists as well as some Labour MPs have objected to the government's proposed benefits cuts, including tightened criteria for personal independence payments

Sultana, who has repeatedly spoken out against the UK selling arms to Israel, said the British people oppose the genocide in Gaza, and “are not going to take this anymore.” She said: “Across the political establishment, from Farage to Starmer, they smear people of conscience trying to stop a genocide in Gaza as terrorists. But the truth is clear: this government is an active participant in genocide. And the British people oppose it. We are not going to take this anymore.

“We’re not an island of strangers; we’re an island that’s suffering. We need homes and lives we can actually afford, not rip-off bills we pay every month to a tiny elite bathing in cash. We need our money spent on public services, not forever wars. In 2029, the choice will be stark: socialism or barbarism.

“Billionaires already have three parties fighting for them. It’s time the rest of us had one.” She concluded her statement by encouraging Brits to turn to the new party. “Join us. The time is now,” she said.
