The currently though soon to be former leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn is a well known Arsenal supporter.
I’m not aware of the footballing preferences (if any and why should there be or not) of Lisa Nandy and Rebecca Long Bailey but it looks like Keir Starmer could be the Continuity Arsenal fan for the Labour leadership.
He told Stephen Moss in the Guardian in 2009:
Starmer’s hobby is football, and as well as watching Arsenal he turns out twice a week for Homerton Academicals, who play not far from his home in north London

Whether he was fan of the thoughts of former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, famous for his cautious but philosophical approach to the game is unclear.
