A BOTTLE of champagne signed by Boris Johnson was allegedly auctioned off “as a souvenir of partygate” after being donated by Conservative party chairman Oliver Dowden.
Dowden, a former culture secretary, reportedly donated the item to a charity event in Hertfordshire, where his constituency of Hertsmere sits.
Guardian journalist Jay Rayner shared an image purporting to show the champagne bottle’s description on Twitter on Friday.
Rayner wrote: “Perhaps you thought the Conservative party took partygate seriously.
“Last night [Thursday] a champagne bottle signed by @BorisJohnson was donated to a charity event in Hertfordshire by local MP and Tory party chairman @OliverDowden. Read the description.”

The description in the image reads: “Bottle of champagne signed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
“A bottle of champagne signed by Boris. Hugely valuable as a souvenir of partygate and the behaviour and morality of our dear leader!”
It is unclear who wrote the description, but Dowden is listed as having donated the item.
Johnson oversaw a culture of law-breaking on Downing Street which has led to more than 100 fines being issued – including to the Prime Minister and Chancellor.
Despite becoming the first sitting Prime Minister to ever be punished for breaking the law while in office, Johnson has refused to step down.
Dowden’s office has been approached for comment.
