Zac does it again
Having been exposed as a non-dom and having most probably alienated a substantial number of voters in the Richmond Park Constituency, one would have thought that Zac Goldsmith might lie low for a bit. However, he seems determined to make his mark and this time it may be his party leader who is not so pleased at his intervention.
According to the New Statesman, Mr.Goldsmith used a lecture in London last night to deliver a stinging attack on the Sun over its recent treatment of Gordon Brown.
He said:
[My] heart went out to Gordon Brown and I was repulsed by the Sun and I thought 'My God, I did not want this newspaper to be backing my campaign.' It is immoral and unethical and wrong. The Conservative party by default got caught up by this which is a shame.
He went on to claim that the tabloid's association with the paper has led to a fall in Tory support, which the New Statesman says is backed up by the latest opinion polls.
David Cameron will not be pleased. For once though I can sympathise with where Zac is coming from.

Oops! Now corrected. In my defence the 's' is next to the 'd' on the keyboard and my eyesight is failing.
