One thing that was noticeable in 2022 was how well Independent candidates polled, including winning one ward in Temple Cowley (although they lost another to the Greens). Anyone know what their relationship is to the various defectors, or are we likely to have multiple independents effectively cancelling each other out?

If I remember well, the Oxford Socialists are Corbynists who left over Gaza, while the Independent Group are people on the right-wing of the party who left over Gaza.

Generally a combination of disgruntled/expelled Labour types or anti-LTN protest candidates.

I'm guessing the No description in Barton & Sandhills is the Green who emssed up their nomination. You literally beat me to this by seconds

That's a strong TUSC showing. IWCA didn't stand that many candidates in their heyday did they?

As well as IWCA, Socialist Alliance had candidates in 6 wards in 2002.

I know, but I was thinking of parties of that ilk who had been successful in the city before. IWCA's success was fascinating, as was its demise.

For the purposes of approximating total election votes across certain constituencies, I have allocated the wards here as follows -
Oxford East: Barton & Sandhills, Blackbird Leys, Churchill, Cowley, Donnington, Headington, Headington Hill & Northway, Hinksey Park, Littlemore, Lye Valley, Marston, Northfield Brook, Quarry & Risinghurst, Rose Hill & Iffley, St Clements, St Marys, Temple Cowley
Oxford West & Abingdon: Carfax & Jericho, Cutteslowe & Sunnymead, Holywell, Osney & St Thomas, Summertown, Walton Manor, Wolvercote
I shall use the "top vote" in the 2-seat ward.

Any particular reason why Oxford (pop. 160,000) is a district while somewhere like Hartlepool (pop. 90,000) is a unitary?

Because Cleveland had to be abolished, and that meant either Hartlepool became a unitary on its own, or it was force-merged with Stockton.
Whereas taking Oxford out of Oxfordshire would destabilise service delivery from the County Council.

Whereas taking Oxford out of Oxfordshire would destabilise service delivery from the County Council. Hartlepool and Stockton could have merged (back) into Durham, though the part of Stockton south of the Tees would have marched with pitchforks as a result. Likewise, Middlesbrough and Langbaurgh (now Redcar and Cleveland) could have "returned" to North Yorkshire, and no pitchforks would have resulted. But there was a reason that Teesside county borough, and subsequently Cleveland county, were created, and cross-river bodies still function for that reason.

This was on the basis of "the very strong sense of identity and community in Hartlepool".
