The new political landscape at Pendle Council has 12 independents across two groups, 13 Conservatives and eight Liberal Democrats. There are no Labour councillors
Independent councillors celebrated multiple wins at Pendle Council, after recent mass resignations from the Labour Party over policies on the Gaza conflict and other topics.
Among the independents was Mohammed Iqbal. A former leader of Pendle Council and councillor for 26 years, he was suspended for 18 months in a investigation by the Labour Party and eventually re-instated. But he recently left Labour along with all the other Labour councillors to become independents. "This country and the Labour Party have a history of speaking -out about injustices, here or across the world. Sadly, Labour is choosing to be 'soft Conservatives' at the moment. I would never say that we would not rejoin Labour in the future. But Keir Starmer needs to change his ways."
"Generally, people are currently disillusioned with national politics and there's a reaction against the Tories. We're seeing that today and we need to address those issues. But I don't detect any big enthusiasm for Labour and Keir Starmer either. "In the West Craven and Colne area, people feel badly let-down by national government. They're saying enough is enough - the Conservatives have had their day. People are struggling to get doctors appointments, hospital treatment or getting their children into a school of choice. These are fundamental things.
