  1. >They insisted that despite the setbacks Your Party has experienced since it was launched, support would grow with Corbyn as leader. “Zarah alienated many people in Muslim communities by saying things like there was no place for social conservatives in the party, and we need to rebuild that trust,” they said.

    From years of calling Labour and Starmer racist and fascist for reaching out to socially conservative voters to trying to pander to those same voters and throwing LGBT people and women under the bus. This is where the Corbyn Project has ended up.

    I predicted sometime ago that for their endless preaching and moral sanctimony the political left mob were largely a cult looking for a leader they could blindly trust. It wasn’t about principles or policies at all.

  2. Corbyn is electoral asbestos – if the Veggies have any sense about them they’ll send him to Coventry.

  3. I think more this is “Your Party” has been a complete mess and could we to save face and just slowly get swallowed up by the greens.

  4. “Your Party” and “coordinated” don’t seem to be things that really go together very well..

  5. Next week: Your Party to be renamed Your Green Party.

    Two weeks: Your Green Party to merge with Green Party.

    Three weeks: Corbyn expelled from Green Party – to start new, purer, better, party.

  6. MarshalOverflow on

    In other words your party is politically irrelevant and they want to attach themselves to the only flavour of politics its members will accept.

  7. Good.

    Hopefully Corbyn can help flesh out some of the greens ideas, and the greens can temper his weaknesses a little.

    Lol, he saw the greens take all his muslim voters, realises there is no one left to vote for him

  9. Your? Isn’t that the party where the co-first comrade boycotted her own conference because she got into a hissy fit?

    If the party is this divisive, I doubt they could align externally

  10. I’m glad they’re not splitting the left wing vote, but also I think they’ve turned away so many people with their various scandals that nobody would vote for them…

  11. The best thing YP can do for the greens is act as flypaper for factionalists and weirdos. Keep them apart!

  12. If Polanski has half a brain he’ll say “thanks but no thanks”.

    Also I believe he is very pro-EU and IIRC has heckled Corbyn for his lukewarm attitude during the referendum.

  13. I’ve been saying this for years, but both Labour and Your Party have utterly fucked their reputations when the reality is they could’ve used each other to great success.

    Corbyn is great, but he’s not a leader. Literally everything he ever liked about being a leader was setting policy and working on the manifesto. For a politician, he seriously hated the politics side of things.

    Starmer should’ve brought him back into the fold, kept him on a leash that meant he’d keep quiet about sensitive non-domestic subjects, and let him head up the building of the election manifesto. He could’ve had the left building the stuff they cared about, committing to as much as any government actually does to their pre-election pledges, and have the left pushing him forward.

    Instead, Starmer’s obsession with the right has harmed his leadership, whereas Corbyn’s new party is basically the Restore to the Green’s Reform.

  14. The most “coordinated left-flank” thing Your Party could do would be disbanding to stop splitting the vote, but they won’t because Jeremy is incapable of making a pragmatic decision
