Can slain Hain drain strain?

He’s gone then.

(Still, look on the bright side. Who’s interested in shonky counter-terrorism legislation and Treasury twisting over capital gains tax now?)

Update @ 4.20pm: Oh, cack. James Purnell got Work and Pensions. Good news for the arts, I suppose, but I wonder if we’ll look back on Hain’s time as a golden age. Or at least a bronzed one.

Update 6.45pm: I take it back. It’s not good news for the arts.

    once played in the same football teams - Red Menace and its successor Demon Eyes.

    What the fuck was the second of these - some sort of team for minor Blairite gofers? What other turds were on the side?
