A Crisis of Conduct and Leadership: British-Bangladeshi Political Representation in Turmoil
August 08, 2025
In the current political climate, it appears unlikely that any British-Bangladeshi individual will secure a ministerial position within the Labour Party, even if a cabinet reshuffle occurs. The Conservative Party has yet to see a British-Bangladeshi MP elected. Similarly, other parties like Reform, Green, or the Liberal Democrats lack any notable British-Bangladeshi politicians who could become ministers, should these parties come to power alone or in a coalition. Even within Jeremy Corbyn's new party, the list of potential British-Bangladeshi members does not include any high-profile figures who seem poised for a ministerial role.

Councillor Sirajul Islam has been chosen for Tower Hamlets, while Forhad Hossain is Labour's nominee for Newham.

Corbyn's Pro-Palestine Surge & Bengali Candidates Emerge in London
July 08, 2025
Veteran politician Jeremy Corbyn, 76, is now fully engaged in establishing a new Left-wing political party, signaling what he believes will be his final electoral contest. His ambitious strategy aims to "create new history" by directly challenging the established two-party system and mobilizing significant support from diverse communities across the UK, with a particular focus on British Bangladeshi, British Pakistani, British Indian, and broader British South Asian groups, as well as Muslim and pro-Palestine activists, and the wider BAME community.
Corbyn & Sultana: New Left Takes On Labour?
July 04, 2025
This audacious move is more than just a challenge to Keir Starmer's increasingly centrist Labour; it's a critical litmus test for the very survival and future viability of genuinely left-wing politics in Britain, particularly amidst the backdrop of a surging far-right. For Corbyn, a figure of his political stature, forming his own party was arguably the only remaining avenue to continue as an active force on the national stage – a possibility that the Daily Dazzling Dawn had anticipated over six months ago, recognizing that a national leader of his calibre had no other mainstream party to join.
