"Lord Kinnock warned that the creation of a new party by left-wing figures like Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana would weaken Labour's position, confirming that division on the left aids the right wing. He stated, "The splintering offered by a new party of the left can only be of assistance to the enemies of Labour, of the working-class - the people who have no means of sustaining themselves other than the sale of their labour by hand and by brain.""
"Kinnock expressed skepticism about the potential threat posed by a new left-wing party, humorously commenting on their challenges in naming it. He said, "I understand they are having a bit of difficulty over thinking of a name. In a comradely way, I'd suggest one. It would be the Farage assistance group.""
Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana are reportedly discussing the formation of a new left-wing party, which former Labour leader Neil Kinnock argues could harm Labour's electoral success. Kinnock stated that division among leftist factions may inadvertently benefit right-wing political groups, such as the Conservatives and Nigel Farage's Reform UK. He humorously suggested a name for the new party, emphasizing the idea that such a split would primarily serve the interests of those leading it rather than the broader working class.
