Former Labour Leader Comes Up With Brutal Farage Nickname For New Corbyn-Led Party

Ex-Labour leader Neil Kinnock just came up with a brutal new nickname for the alternative party Jeremy Corbyn is trying to set up: the Farage Assistance Group.

Suspended Labour MP Zarah Sultana quit the party this week and announced she was starting up a new group with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who was expelled from the party in 2024.

Corbyn released his own statement on Friday suggesting discussions around the new party “are ongoing” – while promising “change is coming”.

On Sky News’ Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, the presenter asked Kinnock, now a Labour peer, “how serious a threat” this new Corbyn-led group might be.

Kinnock noted they were already struggling to think up a name and so suggested one himself: “Farage Assistance Group.”

Reform UK is currently leading in the polls as dissatisfaction with the Labour government rises.

He explained: “The reality is, and everybody knows it, a division in the anti-conservative – capital C or small c – anti-right wing vote can only assist the parties of the right, the Conservatives especially now, and that is bad enough, and Farage’s Reform party.

“The splintering, fragmentation offered by a new party of the left they say – I’ve got my doubts about that – of the left can only be of assistance to the enemies of Labour of the working class, people who have no means to sustain themselves, other than the sale of labour, by hand and by brain.

“It can be of benefit to the egos of those running the central party – and they haven’t decide who should do that yet either!”

Kinnock, who led the opposition from 1983 to 1992, also said he does not think Starmer “should worry himself too much” about Corbyn or Nigel Farage.

“He’s the prime minister, he would be punching down,” he continued.

“But there are other people throughout the party who should be taking Corbyn and Reform very seriously.”

He warned there could be voter “seepage” away from Labour unless these groups are addressed.

Kinnock went on to describe because Reform as the “natural enemies of progressives”.

“You’ve just got to look at them and listen to them to know that they’re following the classic pattern,” he said.

According to the Labour peer,  the right-wingers have managed to first find and harvest division, then found someone to blame, and followed up with simplistic responses to complex problems.
