Peter Hain MP

The Electoral Commission has this morning referred the case of Peter Hain's Deputy Leadership donations to the Police. As a result Peter Hain has resigned from the Cabinet to attempt to prove his innocence.

He failed to declare donations totalling more than £100,000 by the legal date required, I am not sure how he intends to prove his innocence - ignorance or more likely incompetence is not a defence in law.
