🕊️ 206 years ago today, peaceful protesters demanding democracy were brutally cut down at Peterloo. We remember the sacrifice of those who marched from Oldham & beyond. Their struggle laid the foundations of our rights today.

Tonight at a meeting of Oldham Council, we took action to clamp down on unregulated HMOs. 🏘️ These small, often unlicensed properties can lead to unsafe living conditions and disrupt our communities. Here’s what we did ⬇️

Tonight’s vote is a step towards safer homes, stronger communities, and a planning system that listens to residents. We’re putting Oldham people first. 👊 #Oldham #LocalGov #HousingJustice #HMOs

A statement from the leader of the council, Cllr Arooj Shah, following the Prime Minister’s announcement of a national inquiry into child sexual exploitation: oldham.gov.uk/news/article/2…
I welcome the Prime Minister's decision to launch a full national statutory inquiry into child sexual exploitation (CSE). It is right and proper to respect the findings from Baroness Casey as part of her National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.

Today Parliament has been recalled, for the sixth sitting Saturday since World War 2, to take decisive action to save the British steel industry. It’s essential that we preserve our core industries, fight for national security and safeguard British jobs. #LabourSavesSteel

These councillors know full well that removing Oldham from Places for Everyone will lead to developers getting free reign, just like they have in Lib Dem run Stockport.

The absolute brass neck of a Lib Dem councillor telling @shah_arooj to just ask the Deputy Prime Minister to “throw it (the letter) in the bin” after the council voted to request that Oldham be taken out of the plan is astounding

The choice was simple - a plan to build houses that prioritises greenbelt; or chaos where developers get to pick and choose what they want
