The Spin
Left narrative
Sultana's bold exit from Labour to launch a new left party is a grassroots alternative to corporate Starmerism that holds serious potential. However, this chaotic rollout exposes the left's historic flaw: an inability to organize, and Corbyn's silence suggests internal divisions that could kill this initiative before it even begins. If these hurdles can be passed, then Labour should be very afraid.
Right narrative
Sultana's decision to form another irrelevant socialist splinter is nothing more than virtue-signaling chaos already lacking unity or direction. Britain needs real solutions to immigration, crime, and economic decline, not pro-Hamas posturing and welfare handouts. Voters rejected this hard-left nonsense once already in 2019, and this won't change anytime soon.
