A new party to the Left of Labour is 60 per cent likely to launch within three months, a leading leftwing journalist and senior figure in Unite the union has said.
Andrew Murray, who now works at the Morning Star newspaper and was formerly held a senior role at Unite, said that talks surrounding the party which could be led by former leader Jeremy Corbyn are advanced.
Speaking to Chopper's Political Podcast, Murray said a new party to the left of Labour was odds on, in the same way that Reform UK has influenced the Tories on the right of politics.
Asked if it were "odds-on" that a left wing party will be formed, he said: "I would say yes absolutely. It will happen 60 per cent or 70 per cent, within probably within the next three or four months."

Polling has claimed that a Corbyn-led party could take 10 per cent of the votes from Labour and the Greens, and to a small extent from the SNP.
