More movement yesterday and today.

Malcolm has approached Labour Councillors but gone back to the Tories. Want's a guarantee of the Mayoralty.

I suspect it will be 17-17-1 until the 18th.

Malcolm is from a Labour family and his daughter is the current Labour deputy leader. His father was a big Labour supporter. His electorate voted him in on a Labour ticket and they voted overwhelmingly Labour last Thursday. Many of his former council colleagues believe Malcolm is Labour and can't see him going over to the other side.

Malcolm's honest path is to vote for Miles Parkinson as Leader. Anything else risks upsetting the electorate and many friends within the Council.
