Bids for dinner with Boris Johnson reach £120k at Tory Summer Party

Bids for dinner with Boris Johnson reached £120,000 at the Tory Summer Party this week. It came as the Prime Minister held a frenzied fundraiser for the Conservatives.

London's V&A museum was the venue where celebrities and the super-rich rubbed shoulders with Cabinet ministers, party chiefs and the PM, reports MirrorOnline. Prices ranged from £12,500 for a "standard" table, up to £20,000 to sit next to a Cabinet minister, and the auction for a cosy dinner with the PM, Theresa May and David Cameron raised £120,000.

Cabinet members in attendance at the bash included Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Health Secretary Sajid Javid, Welfare Secretary Therese Coffey and Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng. Millionaire property mogul Nick Candy and his wife, former Neighbours star Holly Valance, also attended.
