Works and Pensions secretary Peter Hain resigns from the government to clear his name over the cash given to him and didn't declare it.

Yes, it seems he's been careless, and his attitude when it first came to light hasn't helped. One expects election campaigns to cost money and be funded by donations, and the amount is relatively small when you consider the obscene amounts spent over the other side of the Atlantic, but you have to practice what you preach and carry the can when you fail.
No doubt he'll be back in time.

What is this 'think tank' with no visible members or apparent business to discuss, that the money goes through, that's what I want to know.  |

Maybe they came up with all the bright ideas Gordon Brown has had in the last few months............

I've also read that he was responsible for the plan to axe Remploy, a firm that has helped me a great deal.
Instead the plan was to axe 28 Remploy factories - one of which was in York.
