 🧨🪑Jeremy Corbyn’s much-hyped not-a-cult-but-kinda-feels-like-it political resurrection—“Your Party”—has barely kicked off and already it’s gone full Game of Thrones, minus the dragons but with way more WhatsApp meltdowns. A movement born from frustration, idealism, and a recycled tote bag is now choking on its own quinoa over internal rows, power struggles, and who gets to run the Twitter account.

🧢 Your Party… Whose Rules? Apparently Nobody Knows.

Corbyn wanted to build a party that would be “led by the people.” What he didn’t specify was which people. Now it’s all Discord beefs, public resignations, and grassroots purists fighting over whether a vegan bake sale counts as neoliberal compromise. The left of the left has managed to split itself again—because apparently it’s not a proper socialist movement until at least three factions have accused each other of being “too hierarchical.”

Meanwhile, the man himself—forever caught somewhere between Saint Jeremy and “your uncle who still thinks the Soviet Union was misunderstood”—is just trying to keep the ship from sinking. Which would be easier if the crew weren’t setting fire to the sails while arguing about who gets to be on the steering committee.

Let’s recap: the party born out of rejection from Labour, meant to unite the disaffected, has become a masterclass in horizontal leadership chaos. Meetings that last eight hours. Resolutions on resolutions. And every third member seems to be launching their own splinter movement by Tuesday. It’s like an improv troupe with a manifesto.

But hey—at least it’s democratic. Brutally, anarchically democratic. To the point where decision-making is now a full-time hobby for 11,000 people who once just wanted cheaper rent and fewer wars.
