JEREMY CORBYN and Zarah Sultana have been urged to share membership data from Your Party’s 800,000 supporters to help form local branches.
Nearly 200 sign-ups to the project to form a new left-wing party had today a petition stating that “work must start now to build strong local branches in every town and city” ahead of its founding conference planned in November.
A spokesman for the Give Us The Tools campaign warned that a lack of engagement is a “kiss of death” for a nascent socialist party for which hundreds of “proto-branches” have already been set up.
“My worry is it’s going to be Labour 2.0 — people that have got fed up with Starmer but don’t think the Labour Party is a problem,” he said.
“It’s all going to be kicked into the long grass until the new year, people are there anxious to start fighting and want to get organised.”
