Overview

• Speaking together at The World Transformed in Manchester, Zarah Sultana warned that fascism is “growling at the door” and accused Nigel Farage of “peddling racism,” while Jeremy Corbyn said the movement must offer something distinctly different from Reform UK’s appeal.
• Sultana set out an explicitly socialist, radically democratic vision in Tribune, calling for one‑member‑one‑vote decision‑making, fully transparent finances and leadership accountability to prevent elite capture.
• Corbyn urged local branches to hold monthly open public meetings and to stay focused on community campaigns rather than “endless internal discussion,” noting sign‑ups across the country with slightly higher levels in London and the North West.
• In fresh criticism of the political mainstream, Corbyn accused Labour of “fanning the flames of racism” and condemned Reform UK’s proposal to abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain as a “reprehensible threat.”
• Organisers say an inaugural conference is planned in Liverpool on November 29–30, and a group of 10 independent councillors in Walsall announced they will join the new party.
