Jeremy Corbyn forms pro-Palestinian alliance with independent MPs

Hard-Left former Labour leader joins forces with Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed.
Jeremy Corbyn has formed an “Independent Alliance” with four other pro-Palestinian independent MPs to boost their voice in the Commons.
The hard-Left former Labour leader is joining forces with Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed, giving the alliance the same parliamentary strength as Reform UK and the DUP. It is stronger than the Green Party.
Forming an official grouping should increase the MPs’ chances of being allocated questions and speaking slots in the Commons. However, it is not believed that they will receive any extra funding.
[…] All five members of the group beat Labour candidates in July’s general election with a pro-Palestinian stance in constituencies that have large Muslim populations.
