Jeremy Corbyn announced today that, along with Zarah Sultana, he will be forming a new left-wing political party, provisionally named the People’s Front of Islington. “I think people are sick and tired of all the factionalism, navel-gazing and internal wrangling,” said Corbyn today. “That’s why we’re leaving Labour in disgust and forming a new party.”
The PFI promises an end to all the bureaucracy that so often besets political parties, but when Corbyn proposed setting up a steering committee to form a working group to look into this, there was no one to second the motion as Sultana was stuck in traffic.
Other policies are thought to include free allotments for everyone, provided they agree to the rota Corbyn’s drawn up for buying soya milk for the shed where the shared kettle is. Early indications are that the new party will be popular. A Mr N Farage of Thurrock said it was “the best news I’ve heard in years”, adding with a laugh “I might even vote for them!”
However, when a journalist accidentally referred to the party as the Islington People’s Front, the usually mild-mannered Corbyn angrily denounced them as “splitters””
STOP PRESS - There are already signs of disharmony within the PFI as Sultana said she sees the party more as an anarcho-syndicalist commune, and Corbyn pointed out that’s a completely different film.
