Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana discuss the formation of a new leftwing party 

THE Tories and Labour’s grip on power must come to an end, people attending The World Transformed Festival 2025 in Manchester heard today.

A massive queue wrapped around the Niamos Radical Arts Centre in Manchester’s Moss Side in the afternoon as people waited eagerly to join a panel discussion with former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and independent MP Zarah Sultana focused on the formation of their new political party.

“For too long, our politics has been trapped in a cycle: the same two parties, the same tired promises, the same broken failures; a nightmare that keeps us stuck divided and ignored,” began prominent British-Palestinian activist Leanne Mohamad.

“The truth is that the two-party system has failed us all,” she said. “Everything that these two parties touch is corrupted. And that is why we have to break this duopoly and we will.”

Ms Sultana began a passionate speech by first addressing the new party’s rocky start. “Obviously, you’ve all seen what’s happened over the past few weeks,” she said. “But I’m here to tell you, the show is back on the road.”

Almost 1,400 people sign up in 24 hours to increase party membership by 10% since Zack Polanski’s leadership win this month

The Green party’s membership has jumped by more than 1,000 people in a day after a public split between Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana cast doubt on the viability of the pair’s new leftwing party.

Almost 1,400 people signed up to the Greens in the 24 hours since the bitter disagreement emerged, in which Corbyn and his allies referred Sultana to the information watchdog after claims that she started collecting membership subscriptions without authority.

The leap has helped push the Greens in England and Wales above 75,000 members, a more than 10% increase on the number of members when Zack Polanski won the contest to be their leader at the start of the month, the party said.
