Peter Hain walks the plank.

British Labour politician Peter Hain has walked the plank. He resigned from the Cabinet post of Work and Pensions minister. Famously, he was not a details man and
was probably in the wrong job. Hain certainly forgot to inform the authorities of
the various donations to his failed campaign to become deputy leader of the Labour Party. The Neath member of parliament was scuppered by the lack of support from Prime Minister Gordon Brown and by the Electoral Commission referring the case to the
police.
It is amazing the turn around by the UK Chancellor Alistair Darling on the issue of Capital Gains Tax. His original plans were hit by major criticism. There is to be a 18% rate and an ending of taper relief.
