During the interview, Sultana accused Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of having “all the features of a fascist politician”.
“I have legitimate concerns about what a Nigel Farage government would do to trade unionists, to working class communities, to minority communities, to LGBT people,” she said.
“When someone attacks trade union rights, when they are not supportive of minority communities, when they try to get us out of the European Convention on Human Rights so they can get away with anything, that is a descent into fascism,” she said.
A surge in support that has seen Reform UK opening up a 10-point lead in national polls reflects a wider crisis in politics, driven by voters left “angry” by years of austerity, she said.
Reform UK have been contacted for a response.
In order to “stop Reform,” Sultana said her new party will work with a resurgent Green Party.
Asked whether she would join the Greens, Sultana said she liked new leader Zack Polanski “but we are a different party”.
“There will be those alliances and those electoral pacts in the future,” she added.
Asked if her movement would split the left and take votes away form the traditional centre left voting base of Labour, Sultana said Labour “probably should have worried about that before it enabled genocide and passed through austerity”.
“The Labour party actually was quite content because it thought the left had nowhere else to go – and now the left has choices.”
