  1. #Oldham #ReformUK leader, an ex-Tory (no surprise there) has form for threatening behaviour in the council chamber.

    "During the meeting's break, an argument arose between the deputy of the Oldham Conservatives Lewis Quigg and the Conservative leader Graham Sheldon. Quigg could be heard saying "I quit this party. You no longer have any say over me".

    Sheldon approached him and both councillors could then be seen squaring up to each other, with Quigg seen pushing Sheldon. The two men were separated by other Conservative councillors surrounding them."

    "After gaining 13 councillors on May 7, Reform is now the second largest group in the borough. But with a total of 16 elected members, they would need to come to an agreement with other political groups to reach a majority consensus to put them in a position of power.

    But this is exactly what the group have ruled out doing, with Oldham’s Reform leader Lewis Quigg stating the group ‘would not be doing secret deals behind closed doors’ or joining any coalitions."
