McBride is a listed company which acts as a “supplier of own-brand products to supermarkets”. Fascinating.
But what is curious is that its share price fell sharply in mid-April just as the fortunes of Westminster’s Damian McBride slumped. (He quit on April 11). A weird co-incidence?
Anyway, the share price of McBride the company seems to be on the up; does this herald the return of McBride the spin doctor (as the Tories seem to think)?
Before lawyers start picking up the phone: No, Damian McBride has nothing to do with McBride the company. I hope that’s clear.
