Surge in grassroots momentum as Corbyn, Sultana back new leftist movement.
UK politics is witnessing a revival of the left, sparked by dissatisfaction with Labour policies, Gaza conflict fallout, and rising inequality . Grassroots organizations like Majority and We Deserve Better are mobilizing youth support, and high-profile figures are making moves.
Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have announced plans to co-lead a new left-wing party, aiming to tap into growing electoral momentum behind independent candidates . Polls suggest up to 18% of voters—especially young ones—are open to backing this new formation.
Analysts warn of the dangers of splitting the progressive vote, especially with Reform UK on the rise. However, proponents argue internal reforms within Labour have failed, and there’s a need for new structures dedicated to social justice and wealth redistribution .
The movement’s long-term impact hinges on its ability to navigate organizational growing pains, avoid fragmentation, and form alliances capable of reshaping Britain’s political terrain.
