I haven't mentioned Peter Hain in a while so I thought I'd return to the Neath MP for another blog. Supposedly, Victor Meldrew has come out in support of Peter Hain's Deputy Leadership campaign on Hain's new sparkling website. He must be a long-term Labour supporter, and confident that this declaration will not ruin his career as would surely be the case for other clebs who might consider supporting pro-trident Hain.
I guess he won't be approaching Katherine Jenkins for support after annoying her previsouly by placing a picture of himself with her on a leaflet without her consent...tut.
Does this now mean that Gordon Brown will need celebrity backing for his Leadership campaign? He might decide to stay clear of approaching any Scottish celebrities such as Sean Connery and the like, as this will do nothing for his 'British' credentials.I am sure that Tony Blair's name will not be on the 'famous' supporters list, either!
