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.
Then make a statement on your tax situation! I hope you never get elected because you are exactly the sort of councillor we don't want more of. All this 'smoke and mirrors' guff might come across beautifully in studies but it doesn't sit well with the electorate in real life.

I have already suggested that you have read the Observer article as a statement that Graham is claiming £250 as an MP allowance rather than a possible misconstruance on your part to suit yourself. Ask Graham.

Malcolm Pritchard is not 100% guaranteed to vote either way. It all depends on his position on the day and there is absolutely nothing that Peter Britcliffe can do to force him to vote for him as Leader. If it was such a done deal then why all this jumping through hoops to move the meeting?
