Mr Hain has been concerned to wipe the slate clean after he found that his deputy leadership campaign team had received an undeclared donation from Jon Mendelsohn.
He has now retrospectively declared a fund-raising function at a Cardiff restaurant, sponsored by Huw Roberts, Director of Welsh Affairs, Royal Mail Group.
It is for others to judge how far these declarations were voluntary and how far they were pre-empted by journalists like Guido Fawkes. It is for the authorities to decide how far Mr Hain is culpable under the Political Parties Elections and Referendums Act 2000. On the evidence in the press and the blogosphere so far, it seems that, if he is guilty, then at least half-a-dozen other Labour politicians are in the dock with him.
What is much more concerning is the involvement in party political affairs of the head in Wales of what is still a public-sector organisation.

I just hope that the people of Neath throw away the blinkers before its too late. Forget about voting Labour because your Gran voted Labour for christ sake - those days are over. Gone too are the days of Labour representing the working class. Wake Up!
Vote them all out, councillors and all. Their incompetence knows no bounds. They have only their own interests at heart. Meanwhile, Neath is being left far, far behind by almost every other population centre. Oh, bar one.......Port Talbot. Says it all for me.
(I shake my head in despair)
Their grans may have voted Labour, but their great-granddads would have voted Liberal!
According to the latest hype, the next decade is tipped to be the big surge for the Lib Dems - mostly at the expense of Labour.
I for one would be glad to see such a political shift. Reform of our antiquated political system in this way can only be a good thing for Democracy.
