From attempts to break pledges, to scupper a referendum, to break up a stable coalition government , to stabbing his own party in the back and today, possibly his best effort to date, his bid to deny Wales any chance at receiving a fair funding...

Letter sent to the Daily Post and the Leader today. Dear Editor, What is Peter Hain for? He’s not for Wales that’s for sure. In a week where he has attempted to undermine the One Wales Coalition Government by going back on Labour’s word to hold a referendum which came close to destroying the coalition between Plaid Cymru and Labour. Secondly Hain chooses to ignore...

It is quite sad really. Back in the day you may have remembered Peter Hain as an anti apartheid campaigner and even someone who played a role in the devolution campaign to establish the National Assembly for Wales. Today his record is one of a lonely, irrelevant and dodgy character who has never really addressed the financial questions of his doomed deputy leadership campaign and who...

After Tuesday's events I watched Peter Hain's performance in the Senedd yesterday with great interest, and I have to say I was relatively impressed. I'm not going to call it a U-turn, because a lot of what he had to say is not very different from what he has always said.
