*Grins* I just received a letter from the Group Whip.

A written warning. lol. Either they couldn't throw the book at me without also throwing at the other councillor who rebelled (historically a friend of theirs and our longest serving councillor).....or, they know they're on very thin ice with the deal they struck and daren't do anything which would provoke me into contesting it through region. I did make it clear to the whip that if the whip was withdrawn I would appeal it. Alternatively they realise that any attempt to suspend us from the group would undoubtedly find its way into the local press (not via me) and may damage them.

Either way.....good result for my colleague and I.
