Political opponents mocked her up as Citizen Smith - the young Marxist urban guerrilla attempting to emulate his hero Che Guevara.

The Norwich North candidate was accused of attempting plagiarise Labours branding, after including a Norwich Evening News letter, claiming Ms Smith seems to act more like a socialist than a Conservative in her election literature.

Left-wing website Political Scrapbook has mocked her up as Wolfie Smith, from the comedy series, outside Norwich Station.

Jessica Asato, who is standing against her for the Labour Party, claimed it was a sign of the Tories desperation in Norwich North and showed Ms Smiths double-standards, accusing her of being trying to be all things to all people.

Local people wont forget she is one of the most loyal Conservative MPs and shows unwavering support for the vicious bedroom tax, tax cuts for millionaires and the swift march of the profiteers into the NHS. If this is socialism Ill eat my hat, she said.

But Ms Smith - who said she was clearly not a socialist, but a proud Conservative, said she believed the letter had shown that her work could appeal across party lines.
