This year’s Tory Black and White Ball: a “glittering” guest list

Remember that, at the same time, the government is attempting to cut Labour Party donations and the money provided to smaller parties and independent parties in the UK.

“Standard” tables at the back of the room with a junior minister or MP were£5,000 each, “Premium” tables nearer to the PMs table with a senior minister £10,000, “Premium” table with a top Cabinet Minister or Boris Johnson AND a ” brush” with the PM £15,000.

Guests at the dinner and auction included

… “Access Industries — owned by Britain’s richest man, £13.17billion
oligarch Leonard Blavatnik — secured a prime spot as ministers including Jeremy Hunt and Michael Gove worked the room. Blavatnik has been criticised for his links to Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Jewellery tycoon Ranbir Singh Suri was also understood to have attended. He became embroiled in a “cash for peerages row” after he was made a Lord in 2014. Other guests included:

DEPARTMENT store owner Christopher Fenwick and Indian entrepreneur Ranjit Baxi, both caught up in a separate “cash for access” scandal after paying £50,000 to dine with the PM in 2014.

REAL-ESTATE brothers Eddie and Sol Zakay, worth £2.2billion through their Topland Group investment firm, who settled out of court with the Ministry of Justice in 2012 after allegedly extracting inflated rents from the Government.

SECRETIVE private members club United and Cecil, which has handed more than £500,000 to the party while taking advantage of a loophole in electoral laws which means its supporters can remain anonymous.”

One thought on “This year’s Tory Black and White Ball: a “glittering” guest list

  1. Hypocrital, sycophantic, greedy, self serving, narcissistic , these a just a few words to describe these people. Anybody with any sense of decency will recognise that the black and white ball represents everything evil about our society.
