The Times reported yesterday that Peter Hain allowed his CND membership to lapse a couple of years ago, and now supports a Trident-replacement.
What tempted the former peacenik to support a continuing independent nuclear deterrent for the UK?
According to the Times, "Mr Hain... said that Labour had been punished heavily in the past when it had fought on a unilateralist manifesto."
So it's about keeping his seat and access to the Ministerial limo, then, rather than what he believes to be right for Britain and the world.
A lesson to everyone about the man who would be deputy-leader of the Labour Party.
