Oxford City Council backs city's minority communities in vote A Green party motion called on Oxford City Council to oppose far right rhetoric.

On Monday, Oxford City Council near-unanimously supported the Green Party motion which made clear our city stands against the far right and against regressive migration policy - from banning asylum seekers from working to scrapping family reunion.

Just to be clear, the piece doesn't attribute the Greens' electoral success to Adrian Ramsay over Carla Denyer. It's an article about Adrian, not Carla - hence why I've dedicated a lot more words to him!

I'm not sure what about the below paragraph is 'aggressive', but I'm sure others can draw their own conclusions!

I've also not mentioned Molly Scott Cato in the piece because it's not an article about Molly Scott Cato and she has nothing to do with the central argument.
