PM 'PIMPED OUT'

Tories sell £300k Prime Minister’s dinner with Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt BEFORE new party leader has been chosen

THE Conservative Party has already sold access to the next Prime Minister for £300,000 - before the leader has even been chosen.

Party officials raised the staggering six-figure sum by selling dinner with the new leader at an exclusive fundraiser on Wednesday.

The auction at the Tory summer party - revealed by the last night - has raised questions about cash for access to the new PM.

Dinner for ten Tory supporters with either Boris Johnson or Jeremy Hunt was offered at the private members' club bash in West London.

A party source told the paper: "The next prime minister is being pimped out before they've even got the job."

Among the other lots sold off at the posh Hurlingham Club included a signed photo of Boris and David Cameron and tickets to the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix.

Deep-pocketed Tories were also offered a walk with Tory leadership wildcard Rory Stewart - who electrified the contest with his trips around the country.

A wine tour with Education Secretary Damian Hind was also offered for sale - while a donor paid £40,000 for a private champagne party at the London Cabaret Club.

Boris and Mr Hunt were both in attendance at the fundraising do - along with outgoing PM Theresa May and other senior cabinet figures.

OUTRAGE OVER DONATION

It's not known who successfully bid for the £300k Tory leader's dinner.

The sale comes after outrage over the wife of one of Vladimir Putin's former ministers paying for a night out with Mrs May and six female cabinet ministers in May.

Lubov Chernukhin was entertained by the Prime Minister at the five-star Goring Hotel for £135,000.

The banker has donated more than £1million to the Tories in the last seven years alone.

Theresa May defended the donation as Mrs Chernukhin is now a British citizen.
