Quigg Defies Leadership Change Claims | UK News
Description
Reform UK’s Councillor Lewis Quigg is defiantly denying reports he’s been ousted as leader of his party on Oldham Council, calling them “gossip and hearsay” — even as council insiders say a new leader is being chosen. With Reform UK now the second-largest group after recent election wins, Quigg’s refusal to step aside has plunged the council into crisis, prompting officers to warn the government that the authority may be acting unlawfully. His deputy Mark Wilkinson is stepping in temporarily, but with no majority party and 44 non-Reform councillors holding sway, the political deadlock shows no sign of breaking — and Quigg remains locked in his seat.
