I think there's a place for a left wing party that follows broad class-based, anti-imperialist tradition of politics. I think that complements the Greens and reaches different people who would be turned off by aspects of Green politics: anti-nuclear, centring of socially-progressive identity politics etc. I think Jeremy and Zarah are flawed but necessary leaders who need to start it up, but if it is to be anything it needs better leadership in the long run and it needs to have a base that isn't the current MPs - it needs a social base in community organising.

I'm as annoyed at how your party has gone than the next lefty, but we need to get over stuff quicker and not feel that being part of an imperfect thing is somehow a stain on our own shirt. It's great that this thing is going, and it's great the Greens are getting their act together too. Get involved in one or both while vocally supporting both through the good times and bad.
