The former UK Labour leader and independent MP for Islington North, Jeremy Corbyn is set to form a parliamentary alliance with four independent lawmakers who were elected on pro-Palestinian platforms. He has called for more MPs to join the group.
The Independent Alliance, including Corbyn along with MPs Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain, and Iqbal Mohamed, is promising to push for an arms embargo on Israel, according to a statement.
Far-left lawmaker Corbyn was suspended from the Labour Party in 2020 due to remarks he made following an investigation into antisemitism in the party under his leadership.
His successor Starmer has spent the second half of his parliamentary career clearing Labour of the far left’s legacy of extremism and racism, and planting his party’s flag firmly in the electoral center.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
