He didn’t you know. His wife may have, but he didn’t.

They’re losing money hand over fist, it’ll just take one significant libel case and they’ll go under.
If, fingers crossed, Murphy jumps on this bandwagon, and finds himself on the wrong end of another libel action, he may have to relocate from Ely to, say, Clacton-on-Sea or Jaywick
“together with other investors”
That covers his wife too. No libel.
He’s not even an investor. Same report makes clear that he’s never been a shareholder nor director in any of the owning companies.
Jgh
Not sure that a libel action would break the vile rag. The Scott Trust must have huge resources after the sale of Autotrader for £0.7m (?). Anyone know the exact position?
If the Graun collapsed, even more of its writers would be employed by the BBC. They wouldn’t just disappear.
Wiki says they sold Autotrader for £600m, giving £850m of assets “to underwrite Guardian losses”. What I hadn’t realised was the The Scott Trust is no more, it was wound up and its assets transfered to something called “The Scott Trust Limited” in 2008. The suspicious cynic in me sees the timing coinciding with the change in quality in the paper itself.
Philip Green successively sues the Guardian for libel because it imputes his wife’s income to him? I don’t think so.
“Philip Green successively sues the Guardian”: how often?
I’ll sack my typist
