Ed Miliband is paying an Argentinian company which has attacked ‘vulture’ American bankers to help him become Prime Minister. Left-wing, Buenos Aires-based Tectonica is responsible for the websites of more than 200 Labour parliamentary candidates, including senior figures such as Shadow Foreign Secretary and Election chief Douglas Alexander and Shadow Defence Minister Vernon Coaker, who oversee the Party’s policy on the Falklands. It also designed the websites of Harriet Harman, Andy Burnham and Tristram Hunt. Ed Miliband is paying an Argentinian company which has attacked ‘vulture’ American bankers to help him become Prime Minister . Tory MPs last night claimed Labour’s Argentinian link was an ‘embarrassment’ for Miliband. Tectonica – dubbed ‘Argie & Argie’ in a jokey reference to Saatchi & Saatchi, the agency that famously helped Margaret Thatcher win the 1979 Election – is best known for its aggressive campaign against the US in a row over Argentina’s debt crisis, which dates back to the 1982 Falklands War. Its website echoes Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner’s attack on ‘senile’ US judge Thomas Griesa, who ruled last year that Argentina must drop its refusal to pay back nearly £1 billion to US investors. Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi said: ‘If Ed Miliband becomes Prime Minister he would plunge Britain into debt so it is no surprise he is trying to win using a company that believes governments should default on their debts. ‘Britain has the best website designers in the world, yet Labour chooses a firm from Argentina to work for them. It is absurd and deeply embarrassing for them.’ Tectonica also designed the websites of Harriet Harman (left), Andy Burnham (right) and Tristram Hunt .
