Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse for the Cuban communist regime now on the brink of collapse after its Venezuelan oil supplies were cut off, there’s a surprise from the United Kingdom. One Jeremy Corbyn is on his way…
Jezza is joining the Nuestra America convoy to Havana tomorrow to protest President Trump’s intentions for the island, which look to be much the same as those he had for Iran. Kneecap is also joining…
A sitting Labour MP is coming along: Richard Burgon of course. His proximity to Corbyn is interesting on this trip given he had the Labour whip restored last year and is supposed to be behaving himself…
The convoy claims it will bring 20 tonnes of food, medicine and solar-power equipment to prop up the Cuban government. And that makes the point, doesn’t it…
Approved unanimously by Your Party’s Central Executive Committee:
“Ordinary Iranians now being bombed are already suffering from economic sanctions, which should be lifted to provide relief.”
Magic grandpa still hasn’t lost his touch…
Your Party has just released its leadership election results. It’s good news for Jezza…
Corbyn’s faction, called The Many, has won 14 seats on the Central Executive Committee against Zarah Sultana’s seven. Her slate is called Grassroots Left…
Three independents were also elected. There were 25,347 voters across all elections out of potential 40,985 verified members making up a turnout of 61.7%. Corbyn is therefore set to become the parliamentary leader of the shambolic party – good luck…
Jeremy Corbyn has presented his vision of an “independent” foreign policy in the New Statesman today. Apart from complaining about Maduro’s arrest, he suggests about two actual elements of said foreign policy:
“In 2024-25, the UK spent more than £60bn – or around 2.5 per cent of GDP – on “defence”. Starmer has pledged to increase this to a staggering 5 per cent by 2035. Imagine if we spent as much time talking about climate alliances – and how to empower them – as we do about military alliances. Imagine if the money we spent on killing people overseas was spent protecting the planet that we all depend for survival.”
Apart from that Corbyn – who recently founded a now-dead party – suggests abolishing the veto of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and instituting an “expanded, rolling membership on it.” A vision which manages to be entirely vague and clearly disastrous at the same time…
Your Party’s never-ending soap opera is still providing plenty of entertainment in 2026. Zarah Sultana has now backed yet another left-wing faction – “Grassroots Left” – which unveiled a slate of candidates last night for the Central Executive Committee elections. They’re calling for Your Party to “become a mass working-class socialist party rooted in communities, not a Westminster-style machine run from the top” and to hand power “back to the members”. A familiar slogan…
Union figures and Corbynite organisers are involved in the faction. Naturally it hasn’t taken long for complications to appear. The New Statesman reports that Jeremy Corbyn asked for his name to be kept out of the faction’s material – which was ignored. He’s “very upset” that ‘Grassroots Left’ is implying it has his support…
Meanwhile, the Information Commissioner’s Office has said Sultana’s unauthorised launch of a Your Party membership portal may amount to “serious criminal activity” and could warrant referral to the police. Strong start to the year…

Jeremy Corbyn has called for international solidarity with Latin American leftist movements after US action in Venezuela. Sweat running down a few brows in Havana…
Corbyn, alongside fellow MP Richard Burgon, spoke at tonight’s “emergency online rally” organised by Venezuela Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War Coalition, and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. The demands of which are “an immediate end to this illegal military action, the safe return of President Maduro, and respect for Venezuela’s sovereignty”…
The Your Party leader (for now until its elections) attacked Nobel Peace Prize-winning Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado and blamed ‘global corporate interests’ for the arrest of Maduro:
“Trump said he’s going to make Venezuela safe for American global oil companies. The alleged leader of the Venezuelan opposition put out a video, a quite chilling video, saying that she was going to make the country ready for privatisation. I was thinking to myself on an even greater scale than Boris Yeltsin did in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. What we’re really up against here is global corporate interests working through politicians, working through politicians like Trump in order to use the military to create opportunities for themselves. We know which side we’re on. We know which side of history we’re on. We know which side of history are going to be found out for those people that supported this illegal act.”
Corbyn, speaking to those assembled on Zoom and 220 viewers on YouTube, also accused Starmer himself of breaking international law, which “requires that you recognise that, when a genocide takes place, you don’t fuel the fire of that genocide. His government has done exactly that by the provision of arms to Israel.”
Longtime Trotskyist writer/activist Tariq Ali, also present, said Trump argued gunrunning “weapons would have been used against the United States. Well all I can say – I wish they had been. But they weren’t. They captured him before there could be any armed fightback.” Indeed – quite some operation from Delta Force there…
Lord Khan in the Telegraph: “I hope, and I say this in a non-pompous way, that the public service I do will bring rewards in this world and the hereafter,” he says. “I’m hoping the work I do is earning me Brownie points.”
