Shortselling - Labour and Lib Dem Donors

Guido Fawkes has been helpfully pointing out the links between high finance short-sellers and the other two main parties as well:

- Paul Marshall, one of the biggest donors to the Lib Dems (his firm, Guido whispers, has "a reputation amongst City brokers for having a particularly high churn.")

- Derek Tullet, Gilad Hayeem, and Paul Myners for Labour. Myners is director of GLG, a firm with $25 billion under its management. Myners has funded Brown's leadership campaign and the Smith Institute, and was appointed to the Treasury's pension review.

The main three parties, and how they are funded, are part of the global financial problem, not part of the solution.
