RISH PICKINGS

WEALTHY donors paid £25,000 for a private dinner with Jeremy Hunt, just days before his Budget speech.

A Japanese meal with the Chancellor and up to three guests was auctioned at the Tories' Winter Party in Westminster's Old War Office hotel, as Rishi Sunak bids to boost his election funds.

And a signed photo of the Cabinet is said to have sold for £115,000 during Thursday's event.

The unnamed winning bidder also secured face time with the PM, who will hand over the snap.
