0:00.0 | A bombshell new poll suggests that a new left-wing pie, led by the former Labour leader, Jamie Corbyn, and former Labour MP, Zalas Altana, could begin if it's launched by being tied with the Labour Party. |
0:12.4 | Now, it's a poll conducted by Find Out Now. It's a polling company, which is a member of the British Polling Council. |
0:18.0 | That's the association whose membership demonstrates you a reputable |
0:21.2 | pollster. It means your methodology and so on is above board. Now, the poll finds that in this |
0:26.2 | hypothetical matchup, the reform party would be on 34%. That's an increase of 19 points from what |
0:32.3 | they received in the 2024 general election. Pretty gruesome. Theories would be on 17%, falling by seven points |
0:38.1 | since they're already catastrophic showing last July, while they would be on 15%, falling by 20 points. |
0:44.1 | A Corbyn-led party would also begin on 15%. The Lib Dems would be a 9%. The Greens, which so far |
0:49.8 | have been mopping up left-wing discontent would be on 5%. Now, I mean, this is before a party's been launched, |

1:14.2 | This is important. Jamie Corbyn, of course, was purged from the party he's been a member of for decades |
1:19.8 | by Keir Starmour. The Whip, which gives you membership of the Parliamentary Labour Party, |
1:23.7 | was suspended in 2020. Then the leadership made clear he'd be banned from standing as a Labour MP. |
1:28.8 | This was clearly factional vengeance. |
1:31.3 | Starman stood for the Labour leadership on a prospectus of taxing the rich in order to invest, |
1:36.0 | public ownership of utilities and services, abolition of tuition fees, defending the welfare |
1:40.4 | state, defending migrants' rights, as well as putting human rights at the heart of foreign policy, |
1:45.4 | reviewing all arms sales and making Britain a force for international peace and justice. |
1:50.6 | Well, as you may know, these pledges were systematically reneged on, discarded and betrayed. |
