Britain\u2019s newest political party consists of two disruptive ideologies completely out of touch with the modern West<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his famous political tract – The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, published in 1852 – Karl Marx proffered the generalization that “history repeats itself – first as tragedy, then as farce.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Marx saw Napoleon’s demise as tragedy. Having been born in the German Rhineland – which Napoleon had temporarily dragged into the progressive orbit of the French Revolution – Marx, like all progressive German political thinkers of the 1840s, was bitterly disappointed by Napoleon’s defeat in 1815.<\/p>\n

From this perspective, he viewed Louis Napoleon’s coup in 1851 – in which Napoleon’s authoritarian and inept nephew overthrew the second French republic – as an unseemly farce.<\/p>\n

Observers who witnessed the recent initial Your Party conference in Liverpool could easily have walked away believing that old-style socialism and contemporary left progressivism had descended into the realm of farce.<\/p>\n

What occurred in Liverpool, however, went beyond farce and degenerated into utter absurdity.<\/p>\n

The Your Party is a new revolutionary socialist and progressive leftist party created earlier this year by two refugees from the UK Labour Party – the old-style socialist Jeremy Corbyn and the progressive leftist activist Zarah Sultana.<\/p>\n

The new party seeks to fuse Corbynite socialism with woke progressivism – with the aim of attracting enough working class votes to enable it to implement its revolutionary political program.<\/p>\n

Things, however, did not go well at the Liverpool conference. A bitter clash between the two party co-founders, Corbyn and Sultana, took place on the first day of the conference – which proved that Corbynite socialism and left progressivism are ideologies that have reached their use-by date.<\/p>\n

Corbyn was driven out of the Labour Party in 2024 because the party had long ago, under Tony Blair, rejected his brand of socialism – and Keir Starmer regarded him as an embarrassing anachronism. Corbyn’s mentors were Michael Foot and Tony Benn – and under Blair he had vegetated on the back bench.<\/p>\n

Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party in 2015 by default, as a result of the party’s electoral defeat and a restructuring that allowed members – rather than members of parliament – to elect the leader.<\/p>\n

Corbyn signed up thousands of new members, who elected him leader. The vast majority of Labour MPs never supported Corbyn – and his crushing defeat by Boris Johnson at the 2020 election ended the party’s brief flirtation with Corbyn’s brand of atavistic socialism forever.<\/p>\n

Corbyn’s defeat made it clear that the British working class rejected Corbynite socialism – as they had Michael Foot’s version in 1983 – and much preferred Johnson’s brand of “levelling up”<\/em> conservatism. Subsequently, working-class voters have flocked to support the right-wing populism of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, which has denounced all woke ideologies and vowed to curb mass immigration.<\/p>\n

Sultana left the Labour Party earlier this year because it was not sufficiently committed to the woke ideologies that she so fervently embraces, especially transgender rights and open borders – both elite ideologies that have never garnered any support amongst economically displaced working-class voters in the UK.<\/p>\n

The partnership between Corbyn and Sultana was, therefore, always a very uneasy one – and it was hardly surprising that the divisions between them broke into open warfare at the party conference in Liverpool last week.<\/p>\n

The conference was attended by some 2,500 delegates, many of them trans activists and members of various obscure left-wing political sects.<\/p>\n

Each co-founder had very different views as to how the party should be structured. Corbyn wanted a traditional party structure with a strong leader – presumably himself. Sultana wanted a party directly answerable to the membership and ruled by a committee elected by members.<\/p>\n

Party members passed motions supporting Sultana on these key issues – thereby, in effect, sidelining Corbyn from the party he had co-founded.<\/p>\n

After boycotting the first day of the conference, at which Corbyn spoke, Sultana reappeared on the second day and delivered what can only be described as an extraordinary speech setting out the party’s political program.<\/p>\n

Corbyn applauded the speech, so he must be taken to be in complete agreement with it – a sure sign of his complete lack of political judgment and inability to denounce woke extremism.<\/p>\n

The party program, as enunciated by Sultana, contains the following policies:<\/p>\n
