Top 5 clues Peter Hain should go

Westmonster has thus far stayed largely above the fray in the Peter Hain saga. But when Iain Dale starts quoting Alastair Campbell, we get the hint. At this point, Hain is shooting himself and the government in the foot by hanging around, but doesn't seem to be getting the hint himself. So, in case Ed Balls is watching, Westmonster presents a suggestion of clues that might finally get through to the doomed minister that his time is up.

5. All of Labour forms a new political party — everybody can join except Hain.

4. A horse's head on the desk of Hain's Whitehall office

3. No matter what Hain orders for lunch, he gets served toast

2. Labour job advertisement in the Guardian for new Work & Pensions Secretary (Welsh need not apply)

1. Gordon Brown actually comes by and tells Hain, "You're sacked."
