YOU DECIDE
Q. Lord Ashcroft accepted a peerage from the Tories and tells them he was a UK resident; he spent £5 million in Labour marginal seats in 2005 and maybe as much in 2010. We now know he has been a non-dom for a decade yet he remains Deputy Chairman of Tory Party who have refused to sack him; refused to repay his money and refused to take his peerage away. He then, for good measure, pays for the private Tory polling through a company in Belize thus avoiding VAT. Didn't Cameron say again and again he would clear up the sleaze in his own party. Why hasn't he sacked him?
And you think they care about you and me? Welcome back to the Nasty party
We're heading for a General Election. Which party cares for ALL of its people?
YOU DECIDE
