The Independent Alliance is a grouping of five independent members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The group was created partly to gain more speaking time in Parliament, and opposes austerity, the two-child benefit cap, the sale of arms to Israel, the abolition of the Winter Fuel Payment for most pensioners, and restricting eligibility for Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
At five MPs, the Independent Alliance is, along with the Democratic Unionist Party and the Green Party of England and Wales, currently the sixth-equal largest grouping in the House of Commons, with Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National Party, and Reform UK outnumbering it. Although not a political party, three of the group's five members support Your Party, which was founded by MPs Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana in July 2025.
