Spokesperson for Jeremy Corbyn says Labour peer 'did not witness any of the appalling incidents described, (utter bollocks, he's attended many of their dinner functions himself)
The guestlist to this year’s Presidents Club dinner included the following names. The Guardian has not confirmed all of them attended, but they were allocated tables and seats.

Richard Caring The British businessman worked in the rag trade before moving into property. He also owns a string of London restaurants including the Ivy. Caring’s solicitors said he arrived late at the dinner and left early and was not involved in or aware of the inappropriate behaviour reported. The solicitors added that no allegations have been made against him.
David Walliams Thecomedian, author and Britain’s Got Talent judge has hosted the dinner for the past three years. He tweeted: “I was there in a strictly professional capacity and not as a guest. I left immediately after I had finished my presenting on stage at 11.30pm. I did not witness any of the kind of behaviour that allegedly occurred and am absolutely appalled by the reports.”
Rami Ranger Founder of Sun Mark, which exports British supermarket products worldwide and four-time Queen’s Award for Enterprise winner. He said: “Someone invited me for the first time in my life ... I went because it was a charitable event ... After dinner there was an after-party around the corner. I was totally surprised when I heard about the FT story, as I was surprised things can go this far. These are well-established businessmen successful in their own right.”
Michael Sulkin The director of Aston Chase, Sulkin joined the independent estate agency specialising in high-value property sales and lettings in 1995. He has worked in London’s super-prime residential property market for over 30 years. He confirmed he was at the event but said he did not want to comment.

His press team said he did attend, but in a purely personal capacity. When approached by the Guardian he refused to comment and hung up the phone.
Nadhim Zahawi British Conservative MP minister for children and families (really doesnt sound very family oriented to me). who was appointed as education minister in a recent reshuffle. He chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group for Kurdistan and is also the co-founder of the web-based market research firm YouGov. A Downing Street spokesman said: “Mr Zahawi clearly did attend the event briefly and has himself said he felt uncomfortable at it at the point at which the hostesses were introduced by the host.”
Glenn Spiro East London-born jewellery designer, gemstone dealer and former Christie’s expert, Spiro confirmed he had attended the dinner but said he did not see any sexual harassment taking place. (lying twat)
Lord Mendelsohn Jonathan Mendelsohn is a lobbyist, a Labour peer and fundraiser for the party. His wife, Nicola, is vice-president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Facebook. A Labour spokesperson said:“Lord Mendelsohn attended part of the dinner as president of a charity that received support from the event. He was not there for, or had any knowledge of, an after-party. “Lord Mendelsohn did not see any of the appalling incidents described in the report but he unreservedly condemns such behaviour.”
David Meller The joint chairman and chief executive of the Meller Group, he is also one of the main forces behind the Presidents Club. Formerly vice-chairman of Watford FC, he was a board member for the Department for Education, until he was asked to step down on Wednesday. (fucking too right), In the most recent honours list he received a CBE for services to education for his work on academies. (have you noticed how all the creepy fuckers and nonce's, have all got knighthoods and cbe and mbe obe never once have i seen any of them stripped of their knighthoods, even the most vile of them after being caught red handed and exposed, do they ever get them revoked, because they are all in on it together,

Since the explosive report, the Presidents Club — which has collected more than £20million for charity — announced it was closing.
A statement read: "The trustees have decided that the Presidents Club will not host any further fundraising events.
"Remaining funds will be distributed in an efficient manner to children's charities and it will then be closed." (but will reopen under another name like they always do)
The Presidents Club Charity Dinner has been a fixture in London's high-society social calendar for 33 years.It is highly-exclusive surrounded in secrecy.This year's event was held at The Dorchester Hotel in central London on Thursday, January 18.The dinner was attended by around 360 guests including politicians, businessmen, chief executives and film producers.The elite men-only club started in the 1980s, and very little is known about its members or activities.Following undercover reporter Madison Marriage's expose in the Financial Times the club has announced it will be folding
Great Ormond Street Children's Charity said it would hand back donations. A spokesman said: "We would never knowingly accept donations raised in this way." (rough translation, we didn't think they would get caught, but now they have and the media has it, we better give it back)

A Labour Lords spokesman said: "Jeremy Corbyn has this evening asked Lord Mendelsohn to step back from the front bench as he attended the Presidents Club dinner, and he has agreed to do so.

"Lord Mendelsohn did not witness any of the appalling incidents described in reports and has unreservedly condemned such behaviour."
