The Mail on Sunday alleges nothing of the sort. It's headline is:<br /><br />Mrs Cameron 'might have voted Labour': Source suggests Tory leader's wife voted for Blair... and might vote for Brown<br /><br />Might, suggests, might. If that's the best the Mail can come up with we can be pretty sure there's not a word of truth in it. Although it would be quite good if Ed Vaizey keeps his trap shut on silly speculaton in future. I believe he has already admitted he had no justification for what he said to Rawnsley. Of course he might have been strung up by his thumbs at CCHQ, and forced to recant on pain of the stake, impossible to know these days!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-12394384689779413302010-03-07T12:47:30.205+00:002010-03-07T12:47:30.205+00:00@ craig ranapia

If he can not we all know where this goes.<br /><br />I wonder how much he's going to have to cough up to one of Mrs Cameron's favourite charities.<br /><br />But it is a manifestation of the (predicted) line of attack supported by the Mail. We can no doubt expect reciprocal action. Indeed, how long before Dacre's spouse is dragged into the fray?<br /><br />Frankly I couldn't care less who Mrs Cameron may vote for. That's her business. I'm not voting for her, I'm voting for her spouse. Has she been selected as a Candidate somewhere?<br /><br />That's the trouble, NuLab seems to believe that we're all voting for MPs <i>and</i> their partners. Well, looking at the range of partners of the Labour Front Bench, I'd be throwing up in the voting booth.
