Jeremy Corbyn 'could launch new political party' before election
Jeremy Corbyn is considering setting up a new leftwing political party before the next general election after being thwarted in his attempts to return as a Labour MP.
The former opposition leader, 72, lost the Labour whip in 2020 after refusing to apologise for comments he made about the anti-Semitism row that engulfed it during his tenure.
Sir Keir Starmer has made that apology a condition of being allowed to stand for the party at the next election, expected next year or 2024, something his predecessor is refusing to do.
Presumably Jeremy is planning to use his formidable management skills coupled with his known ability to unite differing political factions. Should be entertaining.

If Mr Corbyn were to take all the loony left MPs into a new Loony Left party and the northern tory MPs rebelled into a Northern Conservative Alliance we would get an election special programme worth watching late into the night. Could be fun!
Woodsy - if that happens we'll run out of popcorn. What fun though.
It's a cunning plan for Corbyn to exit Labour and take all the extreme leftists with him. Labour can then change the rules to make sure he, and his supporters, can't get back in.
Double joylode. Gina Miller is starting a new Party of the Right.
Lots of Waitrose artisanal popcorn then?
DJ - not a bad plan either.
Doonhamer - popcorn sourced from the EU of course. Nothing else will do.
