Joke of a name for a joke of a party. Corbyn et al have already lost all credibility after the launch debacle.
Thankfully, the UK has more than one alternative to choose from, both the Greens and LibDems are shaping up to be strong left-challenges to the Uniparty and Reform.
You’re gonna sit there and tell me UK isn’t a joke of a country? At least politics wise? And yes, I get the irony in this coming from someone who’s president is Trump, but I’m on record as saying the country is a joke, our government a circus, and our president is a clown.
I didn’t say it wasn’t? I just said the new party and it’s leadership are a joke. I didn’t say anything about the UK, itself.
Im also from the US, but I can see all the parallels to the UK government. Both have been pretty aligned with one another for decades now.

He should just retire. Probably the worst Labour leader of my lifetime, he managed to somehow endorse Brexit and lose against Theresa May.
As I see it, Corbyn is a fool, he too wanted out of EU, he just wanted it without taking responsibility for it.
I am so happy we have 12 parties in parliament to choose from, and I think only 3 of the party leaders are about as stupid as Corbyn and Theresa May, which were the only 2 significant party leaders in UK when they chose to leave EU, and none of them are as stupid and dishonest as Boris Johnson when he was tasked with “managing” UK getting out of EU.British politicians are sub par IMO.
Theresa May wasn’t a party leader when we chose to leave the EU.
David Cameron was the leader of the Conservatives at the time of the referendum, the one who promised the referendum to get votes for his party, the one who greatly underestimated the fight that was needed to be able to stay in the EU and the one who ran away from the steaming pile of shit that he’d created.
Theresa “Brexit means Brexit” May wasn’t leader during the referendum but as PM she chose the hardest Brexit possible to appease the fanatics and fucked us forever.
Taken this long with booting out a lot of members too who ironically were involved from the ground roots, can’t say I’m hopeful this is the face of the British left.
Perfectly sums up the left - plenty of infighting and purity tests.
Can’t really see much good coming from yet another left wing party. To the left of labour you have the Greens, Lib Dems, Plaid (Wales), SNP (Scotland), and now this new party.
All this does is split the left vote and make it easier for Reform under FPTP. Plus once this inevitably collapses, it will just put their potential voters (mostly young people) off politics rather than vote for another party.
I hope I am wrong but I think Corbyn has really misjudged this one.
Lib Dems to the left of Labour? I would have thought with the Overton window shifting, they’d still be occupying a position between Labour and the Conservatives like they always have… but I guess it’s possible with some of Labour’s suspiciously Conservative decisions lately.
