The former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn announced on Friday he was in talks to start a new political party because Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government had "refused to deliver the change" that voters expected during its first year in office.

It comes after ex-Labour MP Zarah Sultana announced last night she was quitting the party to "co-lead" the founding of a new group with the former party leader

The former Labour leader said the "democratic foundations of a new kind of political party will soon take shape."
