Many people ask how it is that Sir Albert Bore has managed to survive almost nine years as leader of Birmingham City Council's Labour group.
The answer lies in the sheer effrontery of the man.
It was obvious that Albert, ousted as council leader in 2004 by the Tory-Lib Dem coalition, would have to find something disparaging to say about the local authority's latest performance figures, showing that three-quarters of Government efficiency targets are being met or bettered.
A far cry from the days when Albert ran the show and the city's social services and housing departments were so poor that they came within a whisker of being taken over by Whitehall.
