Independent MPs UNITE AGAINST STARMER!

The five Independent MPs including Jeremy Corbyn have united in a formal alliance, to oppose Keir Starmer's Labour! Right, so massive news has broken this afternoon as the group of five Independent MPs elected across England, Jeremy Corbyn, Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed have formalised their loose grouping into the equivalent of a political party, in all but name - a formal parliamentary alliance equal in size and standing given their numbers to Reform UK Ltd and the DUP and giving them and more importantly their constituents a louder, united voice and be better able to hold Starmer’s Labour to account and before people go, well, there’s only 5 of them, what difference can they make? Well, the mainstream media is already wetting itself over it so plenty it would seem! Right, so for anyone who was holding out for a Jeremy Corbyn party this might be as close as you get right now, not quite a party, but a technical group within parliament that is going by Independent Alliance, very much nails on what it says on the tin, and to all intents and purposes they’ll carry on moving forwards as the same grouping on various issues that they have done since they were all elected separately as independent MPs and equally wherever their political interests may diverge, they can still do so. Essentially you can think of it as a political party when it wants to act as one group and not a party when certain issues may divide them, though certainly none have presented themselves thusfar that I’ve noticed. Where they have been considered separate independent MPs so far though, it has meant they have been locked out of certain positions within parliament, such as committees, access to certain funding pots and the prominence that being part of a formalised grouping brings. It’s been a matter of debate for a while that this was coming, it sort of went quiet, I suppose the summer recess is responsible for it falling from the forefront of our minds somewhat along with other word events, but today is the first day back in parliament and on his desk first day back, the Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle received notification of the formation of this new parliamentary group this afternoon, that they will be going by the name ‘Independent Alliance’ and that their Parliamentary business manager will be in touch shortly to discuss next steps. Naturally, a statement has also been issues by the group: ‘MPs form ‘Independent Alliance ‘ to provide progressive opposition to Starmer’s government.’ Five independent MPs elected in July’s general election, which include former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, have formed the Independent Alliance’ Parliamentary Group, making them the joint fifth biggest grouping in the commons. With five members, the Independent Alliance will have the same parliamentary strength as Reform UK and the DUP. The aim of the formal arrangement is to give the MPs greater opportunities to ask questions and hold the government to account on behalf of their constituents. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
