Conservatives should give back Tory donor money, says Labour
Labour's Sarah Jones calls on the Conservative Party should "give back the money" from a major Tory donor amid allegations of racist remarks.
Frank Hester, one of the Conservative's biggest donors, reportedly made racist comments about former Labour MP Ms Abbott during a business meeting at his company headquarters in Leeds in 2019 ā allegedly saying she made him āwant to hate all black womenā.
Ms Jones says the Tories "need to show the public that they know the difference between right and wrong" and calls on Rishi Sunak to condemn the comments.
