Hain: day 6

A lovely little example of Gordon Brown's lack of leadership this morning. In an interview with ITV's news at ten he stated that Peter Hain was "guilty of an incompetence". But despite even the Prime Minister admitting that his minister has been incompetent, he still won't sack him.

It's nice to know that Gordon is so prepared to allow incompetent ministers to work in his government. Strong leadership my arse.
