Tory Party Faces Backlash Over £5m Donation from Disgraced Donor Frank Hester

Hester's controversial remarks about Diane Abbott and subsequent donation days before election spark widespread condemnation.

Frank Hester, CEO of The Phoenix Partnership, donated £5m to the Conservative Party just days before the general election.
Hester's remarks about Labour MP Diane Abbott, which were widely condemned as racist, have led to calls for the Tories to return his donations.
Despite apologizing, Hester's comments have sparked an ongoing police investigation and political outrage.
The Conservative Party has received over £20m from Hester since 2023, making him their largest donor.
Labour and other parties have criticized the Conservatives for accepting the donation, highlighting the party's inconsistent stance on racism.
