Tory chiefs were forced to scrap a £20 ticket price for “wine and nibbles” with Rishi Sunak after too few tickets were sold.
Party organisers in Gloucestershire wanted to cash in on the weekend event with the struggling No10 hopeful, who is teetotal.
An email to local grassroots activists, which said it was “promoted by Andrew Lennard on behalf of Gloucestershire Conservatives”, said the “ticket price £20 to include wine and nibbles” for the bash last Sunday.
