A Conservative Councillor at Dudley Council had the whip withdrawn recently. Does this mean that there are now 36 Labour Councillors, 35 Tory Councillors, and 1 suspended independent councillor? Furthermore, does this mean the the majority outcome is also now different too? Here is the weblink: https://www.stourbridgenews.co.uk/news/18698888.councillor-colin-elcock-face-standards-committee-tweets/?fbclid=IwAR0Z8jrQBoIoBf9HGx9-z_aqZT_K9t4o9oHzib5xi7K9lmLMIuzVSeMgcqk // Kind regards and yours sincerely, From Edward Powell — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.11.107.95 (talk) 15:20, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, upon further research, after my last comment on this talk page, The full complement of councillors is 72 across the Dudley Borough. one tory/independent is suspended, but Labour have also lost a Councillor in Norton who planned to stand down this year and didn't want to continue when lockdown happened, so the council currently comprises of the following councillors:

Labour: 35 Councillors Conservative: 35 Councillors Suspended+Independent (Formerly Tory): 1 Councillor Vacant (Norton Seat): 1 Councillor Post
