Keir Starmer’s Labour government has had a dismal first year in power. In an interview, socialist leader Jeremy Corbyn explains why it’s time to create a new left-wing party that empowers working-class people.

sign-up figures are insane, 650 k is huge! The last published Labour membership figures were about one third of that.

It's 650k people subscribing to a list vs being a member. Not really the same thing.

    Agreed and pointed out else where myself.

    It is interesting that the your party site is actually taking membership donations. But as of yet has not published that data.

    Part of me thinks they will not be numbers to brag about until after autumn. As the party will have no firm policies or rules until membership votes.

    Some of us may be willing to join and make that first vote. But more will wait to see what forms.
