High profile left winger Zarah Sultana has quit Labour and vowed to launch a new political party with Jeremy Corbyn. That, however, seems to have come as news to him.

LONDON (Reuters) -The former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced on Friday he was in talks to start a new political party because Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government had "refused to deliver the change" that voters expected during its first year in office.

Jeremy Corbyn is to set up a new left-wing party alongside a former Labour MP. Zarah Sultana, who lost the Labour whip a year ago and currently sits in the Commons as an independent, announced the move on X.
