Labour: Sunak should return every penny from Frank Hester

Shadow paymaster general Jonathan Ashworth said that the prime minister should return “every penny piece” of the £10 million donated to the Conservatives by major Tory backer, Frank Hester, who has been accused of making racist comments about Labour MP Diane Abbott.

Mr Ashworth said: If the comments are racist and wrong, why is [Rishi Sunak] still happy to use their money to pay for his leaflets in an election campaign.
