'Total madness': Behind the scenes of Corbyn's new party | LBC

Zarah Sultana went into politics fuelled by a hatred of David Cameron but has now struck out against Labour because of her antipathy towards Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership. Ms Sultana was one of seven Labour MPs to be suspended from the party almost as soon as they were elected last July when they voted against scrapping the two-child benefit. But leaving the party on her own terms represents a seismic and potentially emotional change for the politician who had been a member since she was a teenager. “Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country,” she said in her resignation. However, shortly after, her announced co-leader seemed to disagree, saying he was 'furious and bewildered' at Sultana's announcement. Gabriel Pogrund, the journalist who broke the news of Corbyn's dissent, joins Lewis Goodall to discuss the 'farcical' behind-the-scenes' of the launch.
