Is the UK ready for a left-wing alternative?

Natasha Devon spoke to journalist Zoe Grunewald about who really benefits from the Your Party division as Nigel Farage's Reform continue to pile the pressure on Labour.

The row surrounding the left-wing party co-launched by Sultana and Corbyn shows no sign of slowing, after both MPs revealed they are exploring legal action.

The public display of early factional infighting, revolving around a slight disagreement in the membership system, has disappointed supporters of the party.

In a statement posted to the Coventry South MP's X page on Friday evening, Sultana said she has "instructed specialist defamation lawyers" after she was "the subject of a number of false and defamatory statements".

The latest developments come after days of infighting which has culminated in the movement splitting into two - now three - factions, with a group of left-wing activists calling for the two MPs to step aside.

The group of left-wing activists calling themselves Our Party has urged the six MPs to leave their posts in charge of the party and hand the leadership over to its members.

In an open letter, the group called for the appointment of a "handover committee" independent of the MPs to establish a membership system and oversee the election of a "founding stewards committee" that will formally set up the new party.
