In just under a day since launching on 24 July 2025, Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s prospective new political party, provisionally dubbed “Your Party,” has attracted around 200,000 supporters via its website and social media channels, according to Corbyn, signalling strong grassroots interest and posing an emerging challenge to Labour under Sir Keir Starmer.

The release of this footage challenges narratives on both sides, prompting reflection on issues of accountability, police use of force, and justice.

One of the Tory party’s most controversial figures, Kemi Badenoch, has stated that parenting is a “two-person job” in response to Tory backbencher Sir Christopher Chope, who claimed Badenoch was too “preoccupied with her kids” to lead.

In a widely circulated interview with Times Radio, Conservative MP and leadership hopeful Kemi Badenoch added yet another controversial speech to her red-flag fuelled sermons. The 44-year-old shadow housing and communities secretary is no stranger to rubbing people up the wrong way, but this time she has been accused of suggesting that maternity pay is “excessive”.
