The Independent Alliance is a parliamentary faction in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. It is made up of five members of Parliament (MPs) who were elected as independents.[1][2][3] The group is not a political party, but a technical group.

The Independent Alliance was formed on 2 September 2024 by Jeremy Corbyn, formerly leader of the Labour Party, alongside Shockat Adam, Adnan Hussain, Ayoub Khan and Iqbal Mohamed.[4]
