Despite Ed Miliband condemning the Conservatives as “the party of Mayfair hedge funds”, Labour happily and hypocritically accepted £591,800 from Mayfair hedge fund boss Martin Taylor between 2012 and 2015. Of his donation, the Nevsky Capital chief and King’s College graduate commented: “There is no mystery. This ‘Martin Taylor’ is me. I am a born and bred Londoner, who also happens to be a hedge fund manager. And I am proud to support the Labour Party… Everyone should contribute to society and that those who are lucky enough to earn a lot should contribute more”. He is bizarrely a supporter of the ‘Mansion Tax’ and a reversal of tax cuts for the wealthiest.

What a burk!
I am glad Martin Taylor is supporting Labour as they did what they could for Find Madeleine (especially Gordon Brown) but this reach man ought to support the efforts of dear Gerry and Kate McCann and the Find Madeleine campaign in their efforts to find their beloved daughter Madeleine McCann. He might not like the fact that Theresa May is a good supporter but so is the Labour supporter J. K. Rowling and the amazing Richard Branson. It is time we ALL got behind FIND MADELEINE.
He is betting on a dead duck.
