She accused the political establishment of smearing &#8220;those with a conscience&#8221; who oppose the war and branding them as terrorists\u2014a reference to Parliament\u2019s recent vote to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group.\u201cWe can\u2019t take this anymore. We\u2019re not strangers on an island\u2014we\u2019re an island in pain,\u201d she declared, adding that the next general election will be a choice between socialism or barbarism.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"1708\" data-end=\"1748\">A New Left-Wing Alliance with Corbyn<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\" data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1972\">In an interview with The Guardian, journalist Aletha Adu revealed that Sultana intends to co-lead the new party or independent alliance alongside Corbyn. However, no formal structure or leadership has been finalized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"1974\" data-end=\"2121\">The 31-year-old MP described Westminster as &#8220;broken,&#8221; claiming that both major parties offer nothing but \u201cmanaged decline and broken promises.\u201d\u201cThe billionaires have three parties fighting for them. It\u2019s time the rest of us had one too,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"2232\" data-end=\"2505\">Her surprise announcement reportedly caught some allies off guard and exposed divisions over strategy. Corbyn, while open to building a more structured left-wing platform, has not yet confirmed the launch of a formal party and prefers collective leadership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"2507\" data-end=\"2684\">At age 76, Corbyn remains cautious about leading the new initiative, concerned that early hierarchy could fracture the fragile coalition he\u2019s been nurturing for over a year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19732\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19732\" style=\"width: 980px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19732 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5005.jpg\" alt=\"UK MP Zarah Sultana resigns from the Labour Party, denouncing its Gaza war stance, and announces plans to lead a new party with Jeremy Corbyn. \" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5005.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5005-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/5005-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19732\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The reason behind her decision, she explained, was Labour\u2019s support for Israel\u2019s war on Gaza.\u201cThis government is an active participant in a genocide that the British public opposes,\u201d she stated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-16\" data-start=\"2691\" data-end=\"2747\">Background on Sultana and Corbyn\u2019s Break with Labour<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"2749\" data-end=\"3078\">\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-17\" data-start=\"2749\" data-end=\"2810\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\" data-start=\"2751\" data-end=\"2810\">Zarah Sultana was first elected in December 2019.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-19\" data-start=\"2811\" data-end=\"2959\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\" data-start=\"2813\" data-end=\"2959\">She has served as an independent MP since September after being disciplined by Labour for voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-21\" data-start=\"2960\" data-end=\"3078\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-22\" data-start=\"2962\" data-end=\"3078\">She also voted against cuts to winter fuel payments and criticized welfare cuts targeting disabled citizens.\u201cI would do it again,\u201d she said in her statement.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-23\" data-start=\"3133\" data-end=\"3348\">Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn led Labour from 2015 to 2020 before being suspended over his response to antisemitism allegations.
