Brave decision from @zarahsultana. Starmer’s Labour Party is unrecognisable from its trade union and working class roots.
We’re already up and running with events, assemblies and council campaigns, working alongside north east Greens and local independents.
Change is coming!
Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.
Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.

Majority leader @JamieDriscollNE on Labour’s lopsided investment plan.
In December 2023 I wrote an article criticising Sir Keir Starmer for praising Margaret Thatcher in his Daily Telegraph article. The day after praising Thatcher his website took down his “ten pledges”, replaced by “404 – page not found”.
His praise for Thatcher, I said, was because Labour had no plan for government. Sadly, that prediction has come true. Everyone knew adult social care was a mess. What did Wes Streeting do? “Let’s talk about it for another three years.” A mental health crisis in schools? “Erm, we’ll, erm, tinker with academies.” Climate change breaking 1.5 degrees of heating last year? “Let’s expand the airports!”
Did you know that in opposition Labour got £7 million of public money every year to develop policy? It’s called Short Money, named after Newcastle MP Ted Short who introduced it in 1974.
Now the Starmer-Reeves government is emulating another Tory Leader. In October 2022 Liz Truss ranted against the “anti-growth coalition”. It was their fault, she said, that her genius scheme of doing sod all to fix Britain’s problems wasn’t working.
"I have three priorities for our economy: growth, growth and growth,” said Truss. “Time-wasting Nimbys and zealots” are holding us back, said Starmer in his Daily Mail article last week. The UK needs three things, said Starmer, "growth, growth, growth."
Growth, Keir, comes from fixing the Gateshead flyover. From paying the money we were promised for the Tyne Bridge repairs, so people aren’t stuck in traffic for an hour each day. The Leamside Line hasn’t been delayed by regulators, it’s government pulling the funding. Is it regulations holding up the Gateshead conference Centre? Was it nimbys who stopped Gateshead Town getting promoted because the stadium lacked investment?
It’s not the greenbelt stopping houses being built. Developers are sitting on land with planning permission already granted for over 1 million homes. They build when they can maximise profit. So why aren’t you funding councils, NeoLabour, to build affordable homes for rent?
And don’t say we can’t afford public ownership of water. Just enforce the regulations, make them pay for the clean up, and their share prices will tumble. Then the dividends can be invested in clean water instead of sucked out to tax havens.
Now, with the Heathrow expansion they’ve crossed the Rubicon into full Thatcherism. North East investment cancelled and channelled to the “Golden Triangle” of Oxford-Cambridge-London. It’s called levelling-down.
Truss promised an “iron grip” on public spending. Thatcher styled herself the “iron lady”. Rachel from accounts likes her metallic metaphors too.
The report she used to justify the Heathrow Project was funded by – yes, Heathrow airport, itself owned mostly by overseas governments. The Department for Transport previously rejected the report’s methodology as “not fit for purpose”, and the data was supplied by the airport itself!
In 1969 Elizabeth Kubler-Ross described five stages of loss. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Yet again a Thatcherite government is screwing over the North East. Many Labour members are coming out of denial. Like the German soldiers in the Mitchell and Webb sketch, thinking, “Are we the bad guys?”
There’s still a few, mostly on the payroll, who angrily bleat, “four legs good, two legs better.” “Any Labour government is better than any Tory government.” Tell that to your Gran who’s lost her winter fuel allowance. To the third child in poverty. To the people stuck in traffic on the Tyne Bridge. To the disabled people being bullied off benefits in Stamer’s Britain. Starmer and Reeves did listen to those poor non-doms, though.
Labour ministers sacked for corruption. MPs taking £££s in freebies. Most are in depression.
As Orwell said in Animal Farm, “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
If you’ve reached acceptance, there’s an alternative. Along with hundreds of others, I’ve set up Majority. No whips. A commitment to high standards in public life. And deliberative democracy – directly involving the public in policy development. We’re standing candidates this May in Northumberland and Durham. In 2026, we’ll be running in all the Tyne and Wear elections. If you want a better politics, visit Majorityuk.org.

Starmer’s small boats obsession turns a minor issue into a “national crisis.” Malik warns it stokes fear, echoes far-right rhetoric & masks real problems—housing, costs, inequality—while most migrants are here legally.

And there it is. Some politicians see politics as a game played in #Westminster. It’s not for us. God forbid communities or charities should have a political view or take a stand against the chaos and destruction caused by continued #austerity

This is economic illiteracy. Cutting spending on public services whilst boosting defence spending won’t grow the economy.
They can spend money on guns and bombs but refuse to invest in our public services, feed hungry kids or help pensioners stay warm.
We really deserve better.

Thanks for the mention. We’re focussed on political education, supporting progressive candidates, community-led manifesto development and building progressive political power in the North East. We’re not in competition with left parties/movements, we’re cooperating with them.

🚨@UKLabour have lost control of @NewcastleCC. 6 new #independents - will more follow?
#ProgressiveAlliance #Newcastle
Labour have just lost control of Newcastle City Council, with 6 councillors resigning and becoming independents. I expect more will follow. I'll be supporting a progressive alliance in the next elections.

Naming a party is really tricky. We know that the majority of people in this country support a wealth tax, public ownership of key utilities, employment and welfare rights based on dignity and fairness, action on the climate crisis and ending Israeli arms sales…hence ‘Majority’

Starmer continues to threaten the vulnerable in our society. We deserve better than this.
Majority will promote fairness and dignity at the heart of employment rights and social welfare.
Agree?
Join us and help reshape politics to serve the majority.

There’s no shortcut to rebuilding #trust in #politics. We need honest leaders delivering progressive policies underpinned by deep democratic consensus. #PoliticsInCrisis #DemocraticDeficit
Tories almost overtaking Labour (it’ll happen soon) and yet both main parties *still* polling under 30% is symptomatic of a political system that is in deep trouble.
