Labour government agrees with Greens (&LibDems) that Labour leader Susan Brown's letter tried to have it both ways was about whether 2026 elections should go ahead or not.

Green group leader @chrisjarvisdiy.bsky.social rightly called her letter disgraceful:

It was obvious Council leadership hoped to fence sit this one, discretely aiming for postponement whilst attempting to wash their hands of any responsibility.

Incredibly their bluff was called… by their own Labour government - but excellent we’ll have actual clarity on the matter by tomorrow.

The Government has told Oxford City Council it thinks its response on postponing elections was unclear – and that “in the absence of a clear request”, Government will assume May elections should proceed. Postponement had been mooted in the light of the upcoming reorganisation of England’s councils.
Letter from Secretary of State Steve Reed to Oxford City Council: Thank you for your representation on the postponement of elections in your area. My department has undertaken an initial review of all responses from councils, including responses from opposition groups and individual councillors. Some have made explicit requests for postponement, and others have made explicit requests for elections to go ahead. However, there are a small number of councils who have set out how postponement would release essential capacity to facilitate reorganisation, but did not make a clear request of whether or not they want their elections postponed. Your representation is one of these. I have been clear that this Government is taking a locally-led approach. In the absence of a clear request on whether your election should be postponed, I will assume that your council’s view is that your election should go ahead. I will take account of this alongside the other material in your representation and the other representations I have received in coming to a final decision. Please clarify your position by 10am on Tuesday 20 January.
