PLANS for the first conference of the new left party launched by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have been announced to the 800,000 people who have signed up as supporters.

Thousands of delegates to the November gathering are to be chosen by lottery to reflect gender and regional balance.

The founding conference will be preceded by regional meetings at which key documents can be debated and amended, and also by a drive to convert the supportive sign-ups into paying members.

These will include a political statement, constitutional rules and organisational strategy.  The party has separately been discussing suggestions for its name.

The email announcing the plans said: “Britain’s political class is united. They pursue war and profit, while our lives get worse. For too long, the rich have set this country’s political agenda. Not any more.

“Our party will take the power back. Achieving this objective requires a mass democratic movement that meets people where they’re at, organises with them to build power in our communities and lays strong foundations to transform our country.”

It was separately announced that Mr Corbyn and Ms Sultana will appear together at a debate on the new party at the World Transformed festival in Manchester next month.

Mr Corbyn said: “This government could have taxed the rich, ended child poverty and tackled the housing crisis.

“Instead, they have scapegoated refugees for their own domestic failures, fanned the flames of racism and fuelled the rise of the populist right.”

And Ms Sultana said: “[Prime Minister] Keir Starmer’s disastrous leadership has been a blessing to Reform. But while [Reform leader Nigel] Farage prepares to move into No 10, communities in every corner of Britain are preparing to fight back.

“While Labour hammer the most vulnerable people in our society and cosy up to war criminals, this conference will mark a line in the sand. The Labour Party is dead, and it is down to us to build a new party that will change British politics forever.”

The World Transformed — entwined with Labour during Mr Corbyn’s leadership but now entirely separate — will also host new Green leader Zack Polanski.

The new party has already attracted impressive polling figures and its successful launch will deal a further blow to Sir Keir which could see Labour fighting to retain its 120-year electoral hegemony on the left.
