Peter Hain’s forgetfulness
Surely Peter Hain can’t keep both his ministerial posts for much longer?
‘Forgetting’ to declare over £100,000 twice – once to the Electoral Commission and once to the register of Members’ Interests – is stretching the boundaries of belief, but forgetting even when already hiding where the money is coming from by setting up dodgy think tanks which have never actually met is simply unbelievable.
And then seemingly publicly endorsing donors… Surely he’s pushed this too far.
Besides, it seems a rare thing for a minister to publicly say they won’t resign and then manage to keep their job – see Blunkett, Clarke, et al.
