Now confirmed as we reported even before the by-election was announced Labour Oldham will be adding Councillor Paul Jacques wife to the Failsworth clique in control of Oldham Council which currently stands at former council leader MP Jim McMahon whose school teacher was Paul Jacques, the leader of Oldham Council Sean Fielding who is mentored by Jim McMahon & the deputy council leader Arooj Shah who also works for Jim McMahon. In Elizabeth Ellen Jacques list of proposers, seconders and assentors was her husband Councillor Jacques, the leader of Oldham Council Sean Fielding, MP Jim McMahon and Jim McMahon’s partner. It is amazing that Jim McMahon is clearly still pulling strings at Oldham Council yet his list of socioeconomic Oldham failures over the last eight years include 5,000 promised but undelivered jobs and £35 million of promised but undelivered GVA increase. Jim McMahon’s primary multi million failures as Oldham Council leader include Mono Pumps, Hotel Future, QE hall conference centre, Foxdenton, Prince’s Gate, Our House and a £30 million overspend at the town hall cinema development which is still not fully occupied two years after it opened.
