Early Life & Education
• Full name: Jeremy Bernard Corbyn 
• Born: 26 May 1949, in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England. 
• Parents: Naomi Loveday (née Josling) and David Benjamin Corbyn; both were Labour Party members and activists. 
• Education: Attended Castle House School, Adams Grammar School; involved in political activism from a young age; participated in the Labour Young Socialists, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, anti-apartheid movements etc. 
Political Career within Labour
• MP for Islington North since June 1983. 
• Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition from 2015 to 2020. 
• Known for being on Labour’s left wing: socialist policies, strong welfare state, nuclear disarmament, skeptical of military interventions. 
Break with Labour, Becoming Independent
• Corbyn was suspended from the Labour parliamentary party in 2020 following the EHRC (Equalities and Human Rights Commission) report into antisemitism in the party.
• He was not allowed to stand as a Labour candidate in the 2024 election, so ran as an independent in Islington North and won. 
Formation of “Your Party” (UK)
• In July 2025, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana announced plans to form a new left-wing party with other independent MPs. 
• The party is provisionally called “Your Party” (interim name) while internal naming is decided. Founding conference expected in November 2025. 
• Key policy signals: wealth redistribution, nationalisation (especially public utilities / rail), social housing, opposition to privatisation of the NHS, strong criticism of Israel/Palestine policy with a more activist foreign policy position. 
Gaza Tribunal & Foreign Policy Activism
• Corbyn has organized a Gaza Tribunal under his Peace & Justice Project. Held on 4–5 September 2025 at Westminster. Aims to examine UK’s role and complicity, including arms sales, RAF bases, surveillance, etc. 
• The tribunal includes expert testimonies, participation from UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese. NGOs support it. 
Recent Disputes & Internal Tensions
• There is a public rift between Corbyn and co-leader Zarah Sultana in the nascent “Your Party” over a membership portal that Sultana set up, which Corbyn claims was unauthorized. Issues include collecting funds/data via that portal without proper approvals. 
• Sultana has accused Corbyn’s inner circle of marginalizing her — alleging exclusion from decision-making, forming what she called a “sexist boys’ club.” Corbyn denies those accusations. 
• Despite the conflict, the party is moving ahead with its conference and membership drive.
Public Perception & Challenges Ahead
• Corbyn remains popular among some grassroots on the left, especially those dissatisfied with the Labour Party under Keir Starmer, particularly on issues like inequality, foreign policy (e.g., Gaza) and public services. 
• However, forming and maintaining a new party is difficult: structures, funding, internal unity, leadership dynamics are all under scrutiny. The dispute with Sultana early on is seen by many as a test of the new party’s credibility. 
• Another challenge: carving out a distinct identity from Labour and Green Party, while attracting enough support to make electoral impact.

Latest Events on Jeremy Corbyn
Row with Zarah Sultana over “Your Party” membership portal
• A major dispute has erupted between Corbyn and his co-leader Zarah Sultana over a membership portal that Sultana allegedly launched without Corbyn’s approval. Corbyn claims it collected money and data improperly. 
• Corbyn referred the issue to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Sultana responded by accusing elements of the party leadership of excluding her, describing it as dominated by a “sexist boys’ club.” 
• Despite the rift, the founding conference for their new party (provisionally called Your Party) is still planned for November 2025. 
Gaza Tribunal
• Corbyn organised a public tribunal (non‐governmental) on 4-5 September 2025 under his Peace & Justice Project to investigate UK’s involvement or complicity in the Gaza war. 
• The tribunal included expert testimony, participation of the UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, and explored issues such as RAF bases, arms supply, surveillance, etc. 
Surge in Green Party membership
• Following the public split between Corbyn and Sultana, the Green Party saw a membership surge — nearly 1,400 new sign-ups in just 24 hours. This seems to reflect left-wing voters and activists reacting to instability in Corbyn’s new party. 
“Diplomatic efforts” to resolve internal dispute
• Behind the scenes, sources say attempts are being made to patch up the disagreements between Corbyn and Sultana to avoid fracturing Your Party before it is fully established. 
What to Watch / Implications
• Credibility & unity: These internal disputes may weaken public confidence in Corbyn’s new party before it even holds its founding conference. How they manage these issues will be critical.
• Support movement: The surge in Green Party membership suggests fragmentation among left-wing supporters; some may feel more stable or better represented elsewhere.
• Media narrative: Corbyn’s leadership style and decision-making (especially around transparency and structures) are being actively scrutinised.
• Institutional oversight: Involving the Information Commissioner’s Office signals potential legal/data protection issues; how that plays out could have reputational risks.
• Policy focus: Despite internal issues, Corbyn continues to push foreign policy criticism (e.g. the Gaza Tribunal), which differentiates him politically, especially among left-leaning, internationalist constituency.
