"Slightly arrogant"?

According to the BBC, "Tory MP David Davies called Mr Hain's statement "slightly arrogant"."

Slightly?!?


"Mr Hain said he was also "now making immediate arrangements" to repay the £25,000 interest-free loan from the PPF."

I presume that the paperwork showing that these were "interest-free loans" will be made available.


The BBC article finishes with two nice quotes.

1. "Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg told the BBC he could not "distinguish between what appears to be either utter incompetence in the way his campaign was run, or deliberate obfuscation"."

You and me both, Nick.


2. "A Downing Street spokesman confirmed that the prime minister retained confidence in Mr Hain."

Just "confidence", not "full confidence", oh dear Peter. Mind you Peter Hain has been around long enough to know enough that Gordon would be very wary of sacking him.
