Labour on its own does not have a majority, but working with the Independents would oust the Tories. You come across as someone who likes to think he is politically aware so why am I spelling this out to you?
It does you no credit at all as a political student when basic facts escape you and you are accusing Labour councillors of 'crying wolf' on the back of it.

Again you don't know what I pay or what I don't. If Peter Britcliffe was wanting to claim an inflated train fair, at taxpayers expense, I would be saying the same thing. It's against the expenses rules to claim for money that is not apart of an MPs parliamentary duties.
The 'basic facts' are not escaping me. The Conservatives have 17 councillors. One independent, Cllr Prichard, is in the local paper saying he'll support Peter Britcliffe. That's 18 councillors. There are 14 Labour councillors, and 3 other independents. That's 17 if they all vote together.
