Coventry South MP Zara Sultana has announced that she'd quit the Labour party to co-lead a new party with former Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

Corbyn, who is now an independent MP, says that 'discussions are ongoing' about forming a new political party.

He posted online to say "real change is coming" after claiming Labour's "refused to deliver" in its first year in office.

Zara Sultana was already suspended from the Labour Party following her backing of a move to scrap the two child benefit cap last year.
