I'm genuinely struggling to think of many people in modern politics who identify as communists who would qualify for this, but certainly Ash 'literally a communist' Sarkar is a fairly regular guest on various shows: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002dlj3
Zizek would probably qualify? I think he self-identifies as a communist but I'm not sure he means it completely seriously. Here he is on Newsnight about a month ago.

Then agaain, he's not a politician himself.
Alexi Sayle has had numerous shows on the BBC.

Zizek in my view betrayed the movement in his home country. That's why the press loves him so much.
He also talks a lot without being that insightful in my opinion.
Sarkar could be good, but that famous quote from her is the only thing I know about her politics.
