A Load of Squit 5,066 Posted December 28, 2015 Some people need to take their political blinkers off and accept this appointment for what it is, a fan who has some fantastic contacts has been appointed Chairman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,582 Posted December 28, 2015 Why would his contacts only be members of the Labour party? People like him have to be involved in all sorts of circles, meeting and stiking up friendships with persons of various political leanings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Kenneth 0 Posted December 28, 2015 I reckon Ed Balls brother might have some good contacts:Andrew Balls is Pimco''s Chief Investment Officer for Global Fixed Income.[1] He is a former Financial Times journalist and also taught economics at Oxford University. He is younger brother to the former UK Shadow Chancellor and former government minister, Ed Balls.[2][3]Pacific Investment Management Company, LLC (commonly called PIMCO), is a global investment management firm headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with over 2,000 employees working in 13 offices across 12 countries, and $1.52 trillion in assets under management as of 30 June 2015. The company provides mutual funds and other portfolio management and asset allocation solutions for millions of investors worldwide. PIMCO offers a broad list of investment strategies that encompass the entire risk spectrum and capital structure, including core bonds and credit, structured credit, alternatives, real assets, equities and currencies.This is all from Wikepedia-all he needs to do is tap up his brother to speak to one of the Pimco clients to invest and all is sorted!

That said, for all the contacts they have, there is nothing concrete so far to suggest the latter''s appointment is aimed at securing investment, from the US or elsewhere.
