Charity Smiths T-shirt sales could be hit by PM fashion

Sales of a Smiths band T-shirt to raise funds for the famous Salford Lads Club could stall after an endorsement from David Cameron, organisers said yesterday.

The Tory PM declared: “You have made my day!” as he was handed one of the shirts by a journalist during a visit to Manchester on Thursday.

But a spokesman for Salford Lads Club suggested the T-shirt could become damaged goods after being modelled by Mr Cameron.
