LONDON — Overnight, Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana shocked the world by resigning from Labour to co-found a new left-wing party with former leader Jeremy Corbyn—leaving many wondering if Labour members can remember what nostalgia even feels like .
“Labour’s just as disenchanted as the people we want to help,” Sultana declared, adding she hopes to unite Greens and trade unions under a banner that smells vaguely of revolution… and recycled cardboard.
Polling suggests 10–15% support—a figure promising until you realize many supporters said they’d back the party as long as it didn’t involve any responsibility. Still, insiders say Greens might work with the new party, although only if it includes a ban on winter fuel cuts and an immediate Gaza ceasefire.
In response, Labour MPs were seen browsing vintage “Blair ’97” t-shirts while furiously Googling “What even is socialism now?” Meanwhile, funders are reportedly torn between backing a vision of equality or buying IRL noodle handouts.
