Conservative sources deny David Cameron pig’s head allegations.
Source specifically denies claim that Cameron put ‘private part of anatomy’ into dead pig’s mouth as part of initiation rite.
Party sources initially said they did not recognise any of the allegations revealed by the Daily Mail, which is serialising the book, Call Me Dave. On Monday afternoon the same sources were more specific in their denial, saying the story about the pig head was “not true” and “nonsense” as Cameron was never a member of the Piers Gaveston club.
Downing Street has formally declined to comment on any of the allegations in the book, saying it “would not dignify” the claims.
The prime minister’s official spokeswoman said Ashcroft had himself set out his reasons for writing the book – a reference to No 10’s belief that the book was fuelled by a desire for personal revenge.
Downing Street also refused to say whether Cameron intended to sue Ashcroft for libel, or to discuss allegations that the prime minister knew about the peer’s non-domiciled tax status the year before it was publicly revealed.
Labour and the SNP called on the prime minister to clarify when he knew about Ashcroft’s tax status.
James Delingpole, now a rightwing journalist, told the authors he took the drug with Cameron and another friend at his room at Christ Church college, Oxford. “My drug of choice was weed, and I smoked weed with Dave,” he reportedly said.
