THE Christian Party's representative in the Sedgefield by-election has launched an attack on Tory leader David Cameron, accusing him of headline grabbing statements.
Tim Grainger said Mr Cameron had recently issued a politically correct message in his support for same-sex couples and gay adoption.
But now, he said, he favoured the traditional family model as being the bedrock of society.
Mr Grainger said: "David Cameron's message of same-sex couples and gay adoption was an attack on our Christian heritage and common sense.
"Now he launches an initiative on marriage and agrees wholeheartedly that the family is the bedrock of society.
"While we applaud this initiative, we wonder whether this is simply another headline-grabbing statement.
"Could the real David Cameron please stand up."
Mr Grainger said: "There is much evidence to say that the traditional family model provides a safe and stable environment for our young people.
"This fact should be recognised by the tax and benefits system."
