I see that Patrick Hall MP (Bedford) is part of the campaign team. I thought that poor Patrick had problems enough of his own with his local hospital facing closure and a local doctor doing a Kidderminster on him

Another potential screw-up for Mr Hain, is the omissions from the list of interests for MP’s secretaries and researchers. If you visit his parliamentary website, his four staff are listed as Lyn Harper (Agent), Dilys Richards and Samantha Funning and Joe Carberry in Westminster. Inspection of the list will show that Harper, Richards and Funning are NOT listed. This list also shows three other staff – including his mother. Can someone explain where he get’s the money to pay 7 members of staff??
Also interesting to see the NLGN's head of comms' involvement - something of a setback in their attempts to paint themselves as being cross party...

It's a sad state of affairs when so much effort goes into campaigning to be the next John Prescott. Don't these wankers have anything better to do, like say; sorting out the home office?

The big news tonight is BA caving in to the T&G with an above RPI 4.6% pay rise.
Watch the other unions follow suit as we head into an out-of-control inflationary spiral and further interest rate rises as the Bank of England desperately and unsuccessfully tries to put the inflation genie back in the bottle.
What does this mean for the pound?: it's fucked, and so is the economy of the UK. Here come's a house price crash, more tax rises, rising unemployment, business failures, bankruptcies, repossessions and all the rest.
The boom's over and now we're heading for one hell of a bust.
Brown and his stooges at the Bank and the MPC have a lot to answer for.
Crikey! Ive never heard of ANY of these people other than Peter Hain.

There are some MPs that I just can't stand: Peter Hain Paul Boateng Dennis MacShane Ben Bradshaw Sian Simons Edward Leigh
Sadly they mostly Labour. I'm not partisan, these guys just stick out.
Still, it seems Hain will win. Thanks to Vaz, he's got all the ethnic minorities for sure. Nice to know MPs like to divide and conquer the electorate with these lame ideas.

Extraordinary. That's the end of Hain's DL campaign then. At least if this thing is genuine and correct in its particulars. That surely is the point of the leak and if the source of the leak's master or mistress is demonstrating their honed carving skills as part of a renewal agenda then they may find their stock is high. Or not.
The idea that regional officer staffers or their co-opted "delegate watchers" at conference are impartial is risible, though some are more equal than others. And all are very well motivated and very hard working souls who have the interests of the country at heart.
How this could lead them to support the rather flakey Mr Hain is a bit of a mystery. There have been moments over the past few years when it has looked like they have been introducing gremlins into Hain's way.
He has some fans certainly in Labour's centre left MPs and out in the country. His alleged Post office heist is still spoken of round here. This can involved a new word order for 'trust' 'far' 'throw' 'him' 'would' 'him' 'as' 'not' 'as' 'could' 'I' 'I'. Aye aye!

On page 6, it says "now HB entered race?". Is HB a certain Hilary Benn? If so, no wonder he'll be after Hain.
And on page 7, why can't Huw Irranca-Davies go public?
I like the way the first page lumps together "constituencies" like women or ethnic minorities.
Can Nigel Keith Anthony Standish Vaz, a roman-catholic of ex-public school and Caius College, Cambridge really be the one to represent "ethnic minorities"?
Would you want Mr Vaz to be representing your views at all, especially as he has form when it comes to dodgy passports, extradition warrants and obstructing inquiries, as the Parliamentary Standards Watchdog found that he'd "committed serious breaches of the Code of Conduct and a contempt of the House".

Irranca Davies can't go public because he is a whip. What is interesting is that three of the Welsh MPs supporting Hain are all former members of Hain's Neath constituency. He doesn't seem to have the support of the brightest and the best in the PLP if this list is anything to go by. In any case with Brown as Leader the Labour party needs the balanced ticket of an English MP representing an English seat. Put your money on the young Benn I say.

Only holders of Parliamentary passes need to submit to the Register of Members Secretaries Interests - constituency staff etc don't. Likewise you don't have to be a paid member of staff to get a Parliamentary pass - which is why his Mum has one probably.
But he's still a twat...

Hain pays his mother a couple of grand a year or should I say the british taxpayer pays his mother. Presumably for making his sandwiches and washing his smalls. I see the intellectual giant Nick Palmer MP is rubbishing Guido on another website, They must be in a panic.

I think this list is reasonably old. I can see a couple of people who have now pretty much declared for Hain, who aren't on his list.
What is interesting is where it overlaps with Harmon's and the West Midlands list.
Well, I must say thank you Guido - for once.
This picture (and the accompanying headline) took my fancy
http://irelandsfew.blogspot.com/2007/01/northern-ireland-secretary-peter-hain.html
Never mind, he could always get a job on 'top gear'....
I am likely to be cracking up, but when I see his picture, I keep thinking of that 'Godley and Creme' song, 'Wedding Bells'.
Probably because of the line:-
'But you wanted me to be the permatanned one'..
Hmmm...better still, re-do that old 'Miami Soundmachine' song 'Dr Beat' :-
'Emergency, paging Doctor Reid..
Emergency, paging Doctor Reid..
Doctor, I have got these prisoner's
And they ain't inside, they ain't inside..
Just don't know, don't know
How I'm gonna deal with it...'
It's like the Lord Of the Rings this Blog - full of fantasy.
Peter Hain
