Kingston Independent Residents Group

The Kingston Independent Residents Group (KIRG) in Kingston, is a minor political party in the United Kingdom. Launched in 2017 by Mary Clark and James Giles, it formed from a number of residents' groups in the area of Kingston upon Thames in southwest London. At the time, the group claimed to be "proudly founded by those of all political persuasions and none". Sitting councillors Mary Clark and David Fraser defected from the Conservative Party prior to the 2018 election. The party promotes a local agenda that seeks to give residents, towns and parishes a greater say in the future of their town. They currently have four seats on Kingston upon Thames London Borough Council and form the main opposition group.

The party was first led by Mary Clark, with Helen Hinton as her deputy. Clark died in 2022. The current leader is James Giles, who served as George Galloway's campaign chief for the 2021 Batley and Spen and 2024 Rochdale by-elections, has been an advisor to the independent Members of Parliament Ayoub Khan, Shockat Adam, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed since July 2024, and sat on the organising committee for Your Party.
