This summer, MP's Jeremy Corbyn and Zara Sultana, exiled from the Labour Party, announced the launch of the provisionally named Your Party.

The new party was created to fill a gap on the left wing of British politics that many believe Kirstama and his Labour government are ignoring.

In actual fact, Sultana announced

the new party first, apparently jumping the gun on the former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Since then,

position that even rivals Kirstama's ailing Labour Party. Our political correspondent, Megan Kenyon, has been following all the updates on the left of

British politics this year and secured the exclusive interview with Jeremy Corbyn that you're

about to hear.

They discuss whether Corbyn will lead the new party, why it's been such a struggle to launch
