The book also claims he was part of a “dope smoking group” called the Flam Club at university, according to the Daily Mail.

Lord Ashcroft wrote that the man made the same allegation three times, with increasing detail, and claimed a photograph existed of the act.
If an image of the act does exist, selling or distributing it would likely fall foul of the UK’s obscenity laws, which carries a possible prison sentence of up to three years. Lord Ashcroft fell out with the prime minister after he was denied a “not insignificant” job in the coalition government that Cameron had promised him, he alleges in the book.
“His extraordinary suggestion is that the future PM inserted a private part of his anatomy into the animal’s mouth”, the authors wrote. Claims are that the feud between the two originated when Cameron refused a promised “significant” position for Lord Ashcroft after the Conservatives emerged winners in the General Election in 2010.
However others have pointed out that while the fictional PM had to have sex with a pig as an absolute last resort after much soul-searching, Cameron allegedly did his stunt just for laughs. While some of the allegations may point towards corruption, the one that has the Twitterverse laughing non-stop involves a dead pig and the prime minister’s private parts.
Cameron is yet to respond to the claims, though a spokesperson for Downing Street said it did not recognise the claims.
Lord Ashcroft and Mr Cameron reportedly have a rift going back to 2010 when the Tory peer admitted he was then not paying United Kingdom tax on earnings outside Britain. “The critical thing in all of this is that those of us who are in politics mustn’t be hypocrites”.
The book, co-written by journalist Isabel Oakeshott, is set for official release by the end of this month.
He added: “The Prime Minister should immediately clarify exactly when he first knew of Lord Ashcroft’s non-domiciled status”.

But it is still unclear as to why the tabloid, which supports Cameron’s Conservative party, chose to publish the explosive and salacious allegations from a disgruntled fellow politician about the leader.
