JEREMY CORBYN and four other pro-Palestine independent MPs could form a new parliamentary group.

The former Labour leader, Shockat Adam, Ayoub Khan, Adnan Hussain and Iqbal Mohamed have been exploring options on how they can affect policy more effectively.

Mr Adam, who unseated Labour’s Jonathan Ashworth to become MP for Leicester South, told the BBC that the group was “looking at options that would give us more access to the levers of power.”
