Jeremy Corbyn
Independent MP for Islington North; former Labour leader
Socialist internationalist expelled from Labour who demands Gaza inquiry, backs Palestine recognition, and fights what he calls government cover-ups on Israel.
Jeremy Corbyn led Labour to 2019 defeat, was suspended over antisemitism handling, and won re-election as an independent in 2024. In 2025 he pressed for an independent Gaza inquiry in Parliament, accused the government of blocking truth on Israel's conduct, and sponsored bills on Palestinian rights.
Basis for the leaning assessment
Editorial estimate; community votes and AI should override. Hard left: anti-war, pro-Palestine, socialist economics — outside Labour after expulsion.

Corbyn pairs inquiry demand with immediate arms embargo. Supporters see moral clarity; critics say he ignores Hamas and UK security ties. Same speech, same worldview.
