Do
Hi.
"With today marking the start of 2013's final round of Premier League action, why don't you share your favourite moments of the past 12 months? In fact I insist that do." [From the BBC.]
Is do a noun in the context?
Thank you.

It doesn't make sense as it stands. It seems to me that it should be In fact I insist that you do . Do would then be a verb.

- In BrE do is sometimes used as a noun, meaning a party or event, but that does not seem to be the case here.
