Hard-pressed treasurers of local political parties manage to complete their PPERA returns correctly, while the campaign of a minister of the crown, members of a well-funded national party which brought in the rules in the first place, suffers from cock-ups.
Later Guido Fawkes believes that Peter Hain's campaign was well-run until his first campaign manager was replaced. He also reports that one of the donations came from the sort of loan company that consumer programmes advise potential customers to look at very carefully.
"Guido Fawkes" is an avowed traditional Tory, but he is also a well-informed journalist. One cannot dismiss his allegations out of hand.

Its looking more and more likely that Hains days are numbered. Failing to declare a 6 figure sum is a little scandalous really considering he is in control of not one but two Government Departments.
I don't think I need to say anymore really.
Three Departments - don't forget the Northern Ireland Office.
Peter Hain is praised for his integrity even by some of his foes. The trouble seems to be that he is a bad judge of integrity in others.
Perhaps if he had lied more (such as over the Iraq war) during his election campaign and spent less on it, he may have been more successful. ;-)
