Read our privacy policy A key architect of Zac Goldsmith's "dog whistle" and "racist" London mayoral campaign in 2016 has been recruited by Boris Johnson to help run his final push for No 10. In response to the announcement, a Labour source told The Independent: "Mark Fullbrook was a key architect of Zac Goldsmith's vile dog-whistle campaign in the 2016 mayoral election - widely condemned as the most racist campaign in modern British history." Labour's Yvette Cooper also criticised the campaign of "becoming a full-blown racist scream" - a claim rejected by Mr Goldsmith as "absurd" at the time, as he insisted his campaign had been "overwhelmingly positive". Mr Goldsmith is now supporting the ex-foreign secretary in the race to replace Ms May, and said he has "zero doubt" Mr Johnson "will be the greenest prime minister our country has ever had".
