Jeremy Corbyn (right) on at the meeting in Huddersfield

Former Labour Party leader and Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn came closer than ever to declaring a new left electoral coalition or political party on Saturday.

He said a new formation would be set up before the English local elections in May 2026— earlier if possible. He said that everyone on the left outside Labour “will want to be part of and support” it.

Hasfsa, a health worker in the audience, told Socialist Worker, “I was so pleased with what Jeremy said. It’s what I have been waiting to hear.

“I am so disappointed with Keir Starmer and horrified by the slaughter of Palestinians. We need a new start that puts justice before personal ambition and listens to the people.”

Corbyn was speaking as around 200 people joined a Conference of Resistance in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

It’s one of several gatherings taking place as people rage against Labour’s betrayals and want to hit back at the rise of Reform UK.

Corbyn savaged the Labour government for its “complicity” with the genocide in Gaza and for attacking disabled people.

Speaking before Corbyn, the former Leicester MP Claudia Webbe said, “The time for a new left political party is now”. She rammed home her point, saying, “This is not a plea, it’s a declaration.”

‘What is happening in Gaza is a live-streamed genocide’

A demonstrator outside the Royal Courts of Justice, May 13, 2025

THERE is clear evidence British weapons are contributing to war crimes in Gaza, campaigners outside the High Court said yesterday as the government went on trial to defend its continued supply of arms to Israel.

The case, case brought by Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq, challenges the government’s decision to continue exporting components for F-35 jets, described by its US manufacturer Lockheed Martin as “the most lethal” fighter jet in the world.

Last September, the government enforced a partial ban on arms exports to Israel, suspending 30 out of 350 licences, after admitting there was a “clear risk” they could be used to violate international law.

But it carved out an exception for F-35 components, arguing that they are part of a global supply programme and important to international security.

Campaign Against the Arms Trade said that British industry manufactures 15 per cent of each jet, which have dropped 2,000lb bombs on “safe zones” in Gaza.

The government said the parts would not be sent directly to Israel, but allows them to be supplied via the global spares pool and F-35 partner countries, a move lawyers argue breaches international and domestic law.Raza Husain KC, for Al-Haq, said the loophole “gives rise to a significant risk of facilitating crime.”

UK Foreign Minister David Lammy confirms that UK government and military are active participants in Israel’s genocides and that the F-35 parts that they suspended from supplying to Israel are instead simply diverted via the United States. He says see https://youtu.be/QILgUHrdWRE

Thoughts of the Day 2, 12 May 2025

The UK ‘Labour party’ government is defending it’s decision to continue granting licences to sell F-35 fighter jet components and other weapons to Israel in the High Court tomorrow. I doubt that there’s any chance of arguing that it’s not genocide, the Israeli government has all but admitted it, proud to murder children and other civilians, attack hospitals, mass-murder journalists and health workers. I wonder if it will be covered by corporate media.

Britain’s Communists condemn government complicity in Gaza genocide

HISTORY will record British military support for Israel as “complicity with genocide,” Communist Party international secretary Kevan Nelson said at the weekend.

Recent reports indicate that Britain has sent 14 shipments of bombs, grenades, torpedoes, mines and F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel since October 2023, while the RAF has carried out more than 500 surveillance flights across Gaza, defended Israeli installations from retaliatory missile attacks and bombed Houthi targets on land and sea.

“The stated intention of the Israeli cabinet is to launch a full-scale offensive to occupy the whole of Gaza permanently, while settler extremists and the misnamed Israeli Defence Force wage war against native Palestinians on the West Bank,” Mr Nelson told his party’s executive committee.

“Israel appears exempt from all international and humanitarian law, while the US, EU states and Britain lecture the rest of the world about human and maritime rights, sending warships and warplanes to enforce Western interests from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean and South China Sea.

”He called on the Labour government to follow the example of the Irish Republic, Spain and 145 other countries and recognise Palestine as a sovereign state.

The Communist Party leadership branded Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s refusal to condemn Israeli genocide as “one of the most shameful episodes in Labour’s long and bloody record of supporting British and US imperialism around the world.”
