Zarah Sultana has resigned from the UK’s Labour Party after 14 years to lead a new party with former Labour leader and independent MP Jeremy Corbyn.

“Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party,” she said in a statement on Thursday evening local time.

“Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.”

Sultana cited the Starmer government’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza as a reason for leaving, saying that “this government is an active participant in genocide. And the British people oppose it.”

    So you do not believe the claim that the BBC is spreading pro Israel propaganda? I’m saying the media has always been doing this. They’re simply going full mask off these days. And it’s proving their political motivation on smearing Corbyn in the past.

    Not every conspiracy is false. And this one is fully undeniable. It’s like you’re so convinced that it can’t be true that you won’t believe it no matter how much evidence is presented. BBC is doing literal Goebbels tier propaganda for a literal genocide for Israel and I’m somehow supposed to believe that this is all a conspiracy

          The issue is not that you don’t understand the arguments but that you don’t appear to understand the sentences! Respectfully, I think you can probably understand why I’m not interested in reading my comments back to you, which is what the discussion would entail at this point.
