As I said, might be best for you to stop trying to get into the minds of Leavers Conservatives - you don't seem to be very good at it.
It follows an Evening Standard poll which showed that while more thought Goldsmith had the 'x factor' more also thought Khan would work harder for London

I am sure Corbyn will call for an investigation.
Bonkers....
I'm a bit better at getting inside your head than you are yourself, it seems.
We should be told.
I think you have to be a party member to understand what it feels like to worry so much about the future of your party that you look to outside help to shape it for future success.
If he could say 'I have no ambitions in that direction'
That would be very helpful.
You're a Cameroon who wants to silence and remove David Cameron. You're a passionate Conservative party supporter who is refusing to pay your subscription because of David Cameron's handling of the referendum question.
Actions not words say everything.
Have you ever been a member of a political party?
Because the whole schtick is embarrassingly self-serving. You purport to lament the loss of the Prime Minister's authority because he has the temerity to campaign for what he believes in, but rather than take on or criticise those who are unable to accept that, you are looking at giving your money to ensuring his defeat.
It's reminiscent of "in order to save the village we had to destroy it". But the strategic objective is rather more obvious.
Self serving because?
Because your argument, nominally about the Prime Minister's impact on the Conservative party, is really about looking to maximise the chances of a Leave win, which you evidently regard as far more important.
It's fine to disagree with the Prime Minister about the referendum. To argue that he should shut up unless he agrees with you for reasons of party management is absurd - and transparent.
I care far, far, far more about the Conservative party than our membership of the EU. I am, as I've told you far too many times, a long term Cameroonian. I have only become a Leaver in the last few months.
As I said, might be best for you to stop trying to get into the minds of Leavers Conservatives - you don't seem to be very good at it.
Yet you're considering giving your Conservative party subscription to Vote Leave.

Again, nice soundbite, but no basis in reality.

I think you have to stop kidding yourself.

Your arrogance really knows no bounds, does it?
As long as Judge Jules was playing, it would be a banging night.

Jules played our college ball.
I was too busy dealing with some egg-throwing fools to take it in....

Shrieky knows best.
I would think that everybody will have somewhere down the line have had a family member organise their affairs to be tax efficient & 2nd, 3rd, 4th hand you benefitted. Even getting a birthday gift from them you have.
He was the brains behind the whole thing. It's things like Cameron's establishment view on the EU that led to Hilton quitting.
(Anyone with an ISA has benefited from Tax Avoidance).
The football question is a football question not even a London question. As for the Tube, I use the Jubilee line every day and to me the sequence of stations goes North Greenwich, read for a bit, London Bridge, read a bit more, Westminster, Green Park, Waterloo.
Really is that your real opinion.
Mind you Zac always strikes me as a posh boy on an extended gap year.
Cameron criticises comedian but says he has not had time to look at allegations about singer Gary Barlow's tax affairs
Or his Dads?
If he keeps his seat he could be a good punt for next leader.
I have never benefited from any overseas tax haven avoidance by my father.
Easy see
One of the shrewdest minds in British politics urged him not to stand down as an MP and tipped him as next Lab leader at 33/1

ie describing him as "morally wrong" for seeking to avoid taxes
Surely he thinks his Dads is the same?
I also wondered if a Tooting byelection could be a way back to Parliament for Ed Balls, or another big beast.
a) someone who is a committed leaver
b) someone like me, who was persuadable for Remain if the deal was any good
Goodwin is clearly for Remain, and trying to shake them out of their complacency, but that doesn't mean he's wrong.
But HATE it of the left, because they're always banging on about it to a boring extent.
Always the hypocrisy/cover up which gets people....
The prospect of a sitting Prime Minister having benefitted from offshore funds stashed there so as to avoid tax is a frightening one. Though this may do the Prime Minister some short-term political damage, avoiding an honest and direct answer does more harm in the long-term.
When the same question was posed yesterday, the Prime Minister's spokesperson replied that it was 'a private matter'. But realistically it isn't. This is a very public matter and interest in it has been fuelled primarily by the Prime Minister himself. His shady-sounding answer has only fuelled calls for clarification and further statements.
I am sure he was informed in 2010 of his fathers affairs by his legal team in in the probate and will process .
Could they have used the Blind trust process ?
As Cameron usually goes where Blair went.
There was a story about Ronnie Corbett gifting his house to avoid inheritance. Sorry, what is the problem in paying tax on one's inheritance, and why would go to such lengths to move house to avoid paying it?
I really cannot be arsed looking for any kind of tax savings, ISA's, pensions, or whatever. I did a few years ago, but the whole thing makes you feel a bit dirty.
Tax is something you pay on something you earn, so just pay it, and behave like a man, not some scummy, tax dodging, greedy grasper.
Hell, even the exit poll showed UKIP on 2 seats.
My best prediction from the last parliament was for the Lib Dems to make net gains in 2015.
(It was 2013 and it made sense at the time)
Tell yourself whatever you like: it's clear what's most important to you from your actions.
'I really cannot be arsed looking for any kind of tax savings, ISA's, pensions, or whatever. I did a few years ago, but the whole thing makes you feel a bit dirty.'
Was it too difficult for you to understand?
He hasn't let me forget it.
Lefty tax avoiders want the state to spend money as long as it is anyone else's except their own.
Pity Dave tries to avoid answering.

(photo taken by yours truly many moons ago)
Never been in a political party then?
The Republican/UKIP-style campaign of painting Khan as an Islamist sympathiser might've been an effective strategy in a UK-wide election, where the average swing voter is undeniably quite socially conservative - but it's never been clear to me why it makes sense for London where there is a fundamental Labour majority, and where a good number of the swing voters are socially-liberal City types who, while maybe not enamoured of traditional leftist "soak the rich" policies, do not really want to associate themselves with race-baiting campaigns either.
But not knowing the stations on the Central Line in the very middle of London does give the impression of someone who knows very, very little about London.
Now its yours and Daves turn
Ever made any optional pension contributions?
Let’s give Cameron one final chance to state his position before we send him to the naughty step. If he does choose to supply a straight answer, great. If he doesn't, then the inquiry that Jeremy Corbyn called for earlier today should be given every resource to investigate and clarify for us. Because if we’re really all in this together, then there can’t be one rule for him and one rule for the rest of us".
