Published date: 22 August 2025 17:47 BSTNow, he is organising a Gaza Tribunal of his own. “We have on 4 and 5 of September, for two days in Church House in Westminster, an open public inquiry,” Corbyn says.
“It will be live on YouTube and lots of other platforms and channels, and that inquiry will be hearing voices from people in Gaza, in the West Bank, aid workers, journalists, lawyers, international legal experts.”
[Note to our Fedi friends in the UK - it would be great if someone could get this tribunal streamed via Peertube in some fashion.]
The new party was announced on 3 July, when MP Zarah Sultana left the Labour Party and said she would co-lead a different outfit with Corbyn.
That party doesn’t exist yet. It doesn’t even have a name. But it has already received more than 800,000 sign-ups.
Polling this week found that a third of 2024 Labour voters would consider voting for a Corbyn-Sultana-led party, as well as over a quarter of Labour members.
If you have a vote in the English/Welsh Greens leadership election vote for Polanski then.
He’s stated a willingness to work with this new party so they don’t put forward candidates in the same seats and compete with each other. The other candidates have done no such thing and are greedily and delusionally running on the idea that they can convince enough people to vote Green that the Green party will be able to enact change on its own.
Labour are not left wing, that is evident from the last year.
The Lib Dems are not left wing and will sell their principles for a whiff of power.
A Polanski led Green Party working in tandem with the Corbyn/Sultana party (and possibly the SNP and Scottish Greens) is the only hope I see of the left enacting any serious change. One of the most important of which being proportional representation.
