Insiders are expected to be well informed.

I am disappointed that your Insider seems to have stopped reading my website (krmcbe.co.uk).

He grumbles that my campaign for the Local Government Association chairmanship ended abruptly.

He clearly has not spotted the fact that, on the day of the election, I announced the result (I came second to councillor Margaret Eaton) and pledged my full support for her.

Come on Insider — earn your journalistic salary, do your homework!
