Labour: Appalling that Tories haven't returned donor's money
The Labour Party's deputy national campaign coordinator says it is "appalling" that Tory donor Frank Hester has not had his donation returned to him, after he made allegedly racist and misogynistic comments about independent MP Diane Abbott.
Ellie Reeves says the fact the party has not handed Mr Hester's money back is "really telling about how seriously the Conservatives treat racism".

Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled a pledge card with six "first steps" the Labour Party would take if it were to form a government after the next general election. The steps include measures to invest in the NHS, education and policing, to set up a new national energy company and an elite border force, and to promote economic stability. The move, unveiled during a campaign speech in Essex, is reminiscent of Tony Blairās five pledges ahead of Labourās landslide victory in 1997, and less favourably of Ed Milibandās promises carved into stone in 2015.
