Now, he is organising a Gaza Tribunal of his own. “We have on 4 and 5 of September, for two days in Church House in Westminster, an open public inquiry,” Corbyn says.

“It will be live on YouTube and lots of other platforms and channels, and that inquiry will be hearing voices from people in Gaza, in the West Bank, aid workers, journalists, lawyers, international legal experts.”

[Note to our Fedi friends in the UK - it would be great if someone could get this tribunal streamed via Peertube in some fashion.]

The new party was announced on 3 July, when MP Zarah Sultana left the Labour Party and said she would co-lead a different outfit with Corbyn.

That party doesn’t exist yet. It doesn’t even have a name. But it has already received more than 800,000 sign-ups.

Polling this week found that a third of 2024 Labour voters would consider voting for a Corbyn-Sultana-led party, as well as over a quarter of Labour members.

    the only way komrad korbyn will get his authoritarian chum farage elected is by splitting the left vote. the most effective way to do that is to abuse the only issue his non-party has and have a show trial. i notice historians are not on the list of the invited.

    and how will this help gazans? not in the slightest, but that was never the point and who really ever gave a damn about peace in gaza anyway?

      Which issue? Redistribution of wealth by taxing billionaires? Taking utilities back into public ownership? Building council houses?
