The story turns out to be an act of revenge by the co-author, who donated 10 million pound to Cameron's party in hopes of being given a cabinet position. After Cameron refused to give him such, Ashcroft co-wrote an unauthorized "biography" of Cameron.

With this in mind, I wouldn't give this story any second thought other than the realization that Ashcroft is an utter tool.
