What would it take for a party to give back a political donation?
The British Conservative Party’s biggest donor told colleagues that looking at MP Diane Abbott makes you “want to hate all black women,” and said that she “should be shot”.
Frank Hester has donated £10 million to the Tories in the past year, which PM Rishi Sunak is disinclined to return despite disavowing the comments and calling them racist.
UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that while the Labour Party is telling them to have some spine, return the money, and make it clear that the comments are racist, they’re still refusing to give any money back.
He suspects that that’s as far as it will go.
