There's no excuse for the Conservatives accepting more money from Frank Hester following his racist, misogynist remarks. They should repay this before it hits the coffers. Rishi Sunak needs to pay back every penny, cut ties with Frank Hester and apologise to Diane Abbott. https://t.co/dO5lPeooNH
It beggars belief that the Tory Party won’t give Hester’s money back after his disgraceful comments about @HackneyAbbott. This isn’t about giving him £10m to spend. It’s about saying racist money has no place in our politics or our society. Sunak just doesn’t get that. https://t.co/2V3UEbLoYH
Sunak faces growing calls to return £10m donated to Tories by Frank Hester https://t.co/4JNpkqdYYn
Appalling. Mr Hester's comments were racist, his millions should be nowhere near the Conservatives. This speaks to a much wider problem. The Govt are seemingly happy to accept big donations from just about anyone, even if they are racist, sleazy or corrupt. https://t.co/tm7Dp1etlK
Should the Tories return Frank Hester's £10m?
The Tories must return Frank Hester's donation. Racists should not be allowed to fund our politics. https://t.co/3eUB5I0U5E
