Jeremy Corbyn’s new party, currently known as “Your Party,” is making waves in UK politics as it kicks off its inaugural conference in Liverpool. This move marks a significant shift in the UK’s political landscape, with Corbyn seeking to capitalize on Labour’s shift to the center under Keir Starmer’s leadership. The party’s launch has been marked by controversy, with internal disputes and defections, but Corbyn remains optimistic, emphasizing the need for a “new kind of political party” that’s rooted in communities and social movements.
The party’s core principles focus on tackling systemic inequality, opposing militarism, and fighting poverty. With over 50,000 members already signed up, Corbyn’s party aims to attract disaffected Labour voters, Green Party supporters, and independents. However, the party faces stiff competition, particularly from the Green Party, which has seen a surge in popularity under its new leader, Zack Polanski.
As the party prepares to decide on its official name, structure, and leadership, Corbyn is urging supporters to join the movement and shape its future. With local elections looming in 2026, “Your Party” is poised to make a significant impact on UK politics, potentially reshaping the country’ left-wing landscape.
