Jeremy Corbyn Forms Independent Alliance in Parliament

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, alongside four other independent MPs, has formed the 'Independent Alliance' in the UK Parliament, focusing on pro-Palestinian and anti-austerity issues. The group, consisting of Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain, and Iqbal Mohamed, aims to provide a significant alternative to current policies on austerity, inequality, and arms sales to Israel. With five members, the Alliance matches the parliamentary strength of Nigel Farage's Reform UK and the Democratic Unionist Party. The group seeks to influence parliamentary debates and invites other MPs to join their cause for a more equitable and peaceful world. They collectively emphasize being elected to represent their constituents' concerns and believe that their collective effort will amplify their impact.
