Oldham Council Stuck in Political Stalemate

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

One month after the elections, Oldham Council remains paralyzed—no party has enough seats to form a government. Labour lost ground while Reform UK surged, but neither secured a majority. Reform UK claimed a mandate and promised practical solutions, but rivals dismissed their platform as empty rhetoric. Despite a Conservative mayor taking office, the council is still deadlocked, with only partial committee appointments made. Labour insists they’ll support any legitimate administration—but warn this stalemate can’t last, urging elected officials to finally deliver for residents.
