Ball's in Lord Ashcroft's Court

David Cameron has for the first time publicly denied allegations made in a biography written by the former Tory donor Lord Ashcroft that he was involved in a bizarre university club ritual with a dead pig’s head.

  The Guardian
To be fair, it seems the book says the report could be one of "mistaken identity" but it also says there is photographic evidence.  Cameron has raised.  It will take the photos to call.  But I'm guessing we won't see any photos - Cameron waited a long time to deny the allegation, so I'm guessing in that time, he's found the source of those alleged photos, and either they don't exist, or they (or their owner) have been "neutralized" in some fashion.

On the other hand, I'd guess they do - or at least did - exist.  Otherwise, why bring the subject back to the public's attention by denying it now?
The hunt is now on for the Tory MP – an Oxford University contemporary of Cameron – who claimed to the authors of the biography that he had seen photographic evidence of the pig incident.
I think he's already been found.
