Reform UK’s Oldham branch has a new leader after Lewis Quigg stepped down—amid intense social media speculation he’d previously called “nonsense”—to focus on his role as Royton North councillor. Under Quigg, the party surged from three to sixteen councillors in under a year and became the council’s second-largest group after a strong May election showing. But despite that momentum, they still lack enough support to form an administration, leaving the council in constitutional limbo. Mark Wilkinson, formerly deputy leader, now takes the helm, praising Quigg’s foundational work and pledging to hold the current government accountable. Gary Tarbuck is named deputy leader.
