Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has issued a statement over Zarah Sultana’s resignation from the Labour Party. However, while he does address the forming of a new party, he currently makes no mention of Sultana ‘leading’ it – just that she will “help build” a “real alternative”.
Corbyn’s statement in full
Corbyn’s statement was as follows:
“Real change is coming.
One year on from the election, this Labour government has refused to deliver the change people expected and deserved. Poverty, inequality and war are not inevitable. Our country needs to change direction, now.
Congratulations to Zarah Sultana on her principled decision to leave the Labour Party. I am delighted that she will help us build a real alternative.
The democratic foundations of a new kind of political party will soon take shape. Discussions are ongoing – and I am excited to work alongside all communities to fight for the future people deserve.
Together, we can create something that is desperately missing from our broken political system: hope.
Jeremy Corbyn
MP for Islington North”

The Canary will bring you further updates as they happen.













I am pleased to receive regular emails from the canary informing me of current political events.
However, I do not have unlimited time for reading emails and object to stupid, irrelevant content. I’m referring to the daft horoscope pieces. Please stop sending this irrelevant,trivial rubbish.
Cancer: Today, you will be oversensitive. And make sure everyone knows about it
Leo: Arrogance is your best virtue, you will realise today. If only you weren’t too lazy to do any self-reflection.
Virgo: Being hypercritical of others feeds your narcissism. And today, aren’t you hungry.
Libra: Your jealousy of Kali overflows today, on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand…
Scorpio: Today is not a good day to hunt down that person who insulted you 35 years ago, to leave their half-cooked pet rabbit on their barbecue as revenge.
Sagittarius: Time to buy a new pet rabbit. This time, don’t cause a 20 car pile up while reversing down the motorway bringing it home.
See, THAT’S how it should be done. 😉
I just skip them. But I agree, the Canary should not invite its friends to fritter away their time unnecessarily,
