So Hain has gone

It was only a matter of time for him to do the decent thing. It's such a shame that Gordon Brown saw fit to keep him in position for so long after the many revelations. So the cabinet has lost another big hitter, there's not many left.

As some commentators have pointed out, we are now be ruled by political pigmies. The Tory party front bench is now looking a lot more qualified to do the job, even the Lib Dems don't look too bad. Just look at the big jobs:

Brown vs Cameron
Darling vs Osborne
Miliband vs Hague
Smith vs Davis
Browne vs Fox

Will this resignation now lead to other scalps, Harriet Harman for instance? Will the next resignation follow quickly. It certainly seems as though the Brown Government is looking more doomed than ever.

Squiffy.
