The Independent Alliance is a grouping of six 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 allowance for most pensioners, and restricting eligibility for Personal Independence Payments (PIP).

At six MPs, the Independent Alliance is currently the fifth-largest grouping in the House of Commons, with Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, and the Scottish National Party outnumbering it. Although not a political party, the group supports the party founded by MPs Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana in July 2025 with the interim name Your Party.

In the 2024 general election, the Labour Party won a landslide victory, but a record six independent candidates were also elected. Three of the new independents—Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain and Shockat Adam—defeated the Labour incumbent MPs. Iqbal Mohamed was elected to the new constituency of Dewsbury and Batley, which was created from abolished constituencies contested at the previous general election in 2019: Dewsbury had elected a Conservative MP while Batley and Spen elected a Labour member. The results were suggested to be, in part, a push-back against Labour's stance on the Gaza war, the Gaza humanitarian crisis, and issues regarding Islamophobia in the Labour Party.

In Islington North, Jeremy Corbyn, the incumbent MP since 1983, had been forbidden from standing as a Labour parliamentary candidate by the Labour Party's National Executive Committee despite "unanimous support" from his Constituency Labour Party (CLP). After announcing on 24 May 2024 that he would stand as an independent candidate, he was fully expelled from the Labour Party. Corbyn was comfortably re-elected against the Labour candidate with a majority of 7,247.

On 23 July 2024, the Scottish National Party (SNP) tabled an amendment to the King's speech to scrap the two-child benefit cap. Labour whipped its MPs to vote against the SNP amendment, resulting in the amendment being rejected by 363 no votes to 103 ayes. Despite the whip, seven Labour MPs rebelled by voting to abolish the cap and were suspended from the party for at least six months. The seven Labour MPs suspended were John McDonnell, Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Imran Hussain, Apsana Begum and Zarah Sultana.

Shortly after, Shockat Adam, Jeremy Corbyn, Adnan Hussain, Ayoub Khan, and Iqbal Mohamed produced a joint letter decrying the two major parties and stated the need for a caring alternative. Corbyn also stated that he was disappointed with Labour's actions, but dismissed the idea of forming a new political party as being premature. Instead, Corbyn and Adam said they would continue working with Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed. The five informally worked together with the Greens in tabling motions, and reached out to cooperate with the seven suspended Labour MPs.

By 28 July 2024, Adam, Hussain, Khan and Mohamed were being advised by James Giles, who had previously worked as George Galloway's campaign manager.

On 2 September 2024, Shockat Adam, Jeremy Corbyn, Adnan Hussain, Ayoub Khan and Iqbal Mohamed announced the formation of the Independent Alliance. The MPs stated they had formed the group so that they would be allocated parliamentary time to ask questions and speak in debates. While the seven suspended Labour MPs were not founding members, the Independent Alliance's MPs said they would welcome other MPs who share their principles.
