How Oldham’s Independents Betrayed the Town - And Why This Matters Beyond Oldham
What’s happening in Oldham isn’t unique. It’s a warning.
Across the country, we’ve seen so-called “independent” councillors who promised change, only to prop up the same corrupt systems they claimed to oppose. In Oldham, they didn’t just get into bed with Labour, they became full partners in the cover-ups and failures that have plagued this borough for years.
And while Oldham urgently needs reform, even that hope is under siege. Reform UK’s local branch is now in crisis, with elections suspended and members blocked from voting to remove the failing leadership.
This isn’t just local politics, it’s a national pattern of democratic decay.
That’s why platforms like Red Wall and the Rabble matter, not just for Oldham, but for every town where people feel abandoned, unheard, and unrepresented.
