Ashcroft still not paying tax in the UK?

If Lord Ashcroft is putting hundreds of thousands of pounds into Tory campaigns, why isn't he putting money into the UK exchequer?

It seems despite promises by William Hague that the Conservative's biggest donor would move back to the UK and pay income tax here, Ashcroft is still avoiding tax whilst pumping money into marginal seats.

Its the equivalent of buying the voters a pint. Tory bribe money. Disgraceful.

Surely while an argument, in the media, is raging  about Alan Johnson, over a £3,000 donation, the party should use every opportunity to emphasise that one of the Tories' biggest donors, Lord Ascroft, is still not an official resident of the UK for tax purposes, in spite of numerous promises over some years.
