Want to shake hands with Boris Johnson? That will be £121, please

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is charging £121 for a handshake and a photograph before a live event in Edinburgh.

On 2 September, the controversial former politician will appear at the Usher Hall on 2 September for an event titled An Evening with Boris Johnson.

Guests are charged separately for a meet-and-greet ticket in addition to tickets for listening to him speak, which range from £53.90 to £159.90, with the higher price guaranteeing VIP seats. Guests are also allowed to take part in a question and answer session.

The Usher Hall event page praises Johnson for taking the Conservative party “to an extraordinary election victory”, heading a government that “shattered the political and parliamentary deadlock over Brexit” and leading the UK “through the darkest days of the pandemic”.
