I can already see the headline:
The independents have an antisemitism problem
Meh. Was hoping that he'd throw support behind a broader left-wing challenge to Starmer, but I guess it'd be good for him to remain in parliament.
Ever since he got kicked out of Labour I was hoping the rumors of him launching a new party were true, so I'm a bit disappointed that isn't the case.
Though I like the idea in theory, the honest reality is any party would get so crushed by the media even harder than Corbyn's time as leader, to the point it wouldn't have a hope in hell. This may be the best small thing he can do.
True, it would be very unlikely they'd allow him to have any electoral success. Though it would be nice to have some sort of larger scale organized leftist resistance to both Labour and the Tories.
Plus he frankly doesn't seem to be politically astute enough to run a party
Incredibly stupid move of his was to drop out of party leadership after his defeat
I was under the impression that the labor party was purged. Do left-wing challengers even exist?
well, if thats the strat he might as well try and rob labour of a seat while at it. whoever that challenger is - wether it's corbyn himself or some other independent - you have to diminish the unearned labour power.
there is no broad left-wing party is the issue. the greens are lukewarm socialists/socdems, the NIP is socialist but small and regionalist, the worker's party is just galloway being a careerist, all the communist parties have issues with racism/homophobia/transphobia/revisionism and no MP could survive the media while running as a communist anyway etc.
I may be biased as an anarchist but socialist independents seem to be the way to go for britain, given that every attempt at a socialist party invariably is usurped from within or sabotaged in the media - it's harder for the MSM to sabotage hundreds of independent candidates rather than a single bloc, and voters tend to like independents for whatever reason - perhaps as an alternative to the westminster duopoly regardless of politicsI may be biased as an anarchist but socialist independents seem to be the way to go for britain,
Then better hope for some good contingency and emergency plans, regardless of its success or not, cuz we're going to have a mass reactionary campaign against us, innit...
the greens are lukewarm socialists/socdems
The greens are liberals. They are not lukewarm socdems. Their movement direction is rightwards, for example they used to be opposed to nato but now explicitly support it.
The system won't let him win, but mad respect for our long friend
I wonder if Corbyn's Labour run had happened today if things might have gone differently. I think a lot of people have now seen how nonsensically and indiscriminately the "antisemitic" label gets used, and that the tactic is getting much less effective.
Loyal subjects of His Majesty King Charles:
Can you guys do something finally about that whole thing 👆
The fuck are you Angloids doing still begging some sausage fingered, inept, inbred his permission to "dissolve parliament"? (work on that wording too btw. Or, alternatively, don't and make the dissolution much more... literal)
Corbyn is a good socdem, but he is too nice to be effective in bourgeois politics, the bourgeois will use all its tools to attack him, and he'll try to be conciliatory.
What if he can team up with Galloway on some critical issues? He can play nice cop while Galloway goes on the badgering firebrand.
Here's how Corbyn can still win, but for real this time.
:corbyn-shining:Cool and all, but as I’m not in Islington this isn’t something that affects me. Wish he’d gone for starting a new actually left wing party. Then we could have really got into some good electoralism.
