Rumour Mill

I'm hearing what is said to be a very solid rumour that a certain senior NCC councillor is planning an exit from local government and has ambitions of becoming an MEP. I have been given a name but, because I can't substantiate it, I'm not passing it on at this stage.

If it is true it would seriously change the political dynamic at NCC. More importantly, I will be able to go around looking smug with a *you read it here first* face on.
