Rishi Sunak faces increasing pressure over donations from Frank Hester, whose comments about Diane Abbott have been condemned as racist and misogynistic, after it was reported he has given another £5m to the Conservatives.
The additional money, not denied by the party or Downing Street, would take Hester’s contributions to Tory party coffers in less than a year to £15m, almost as much as the Conservatives spent in the entire 2019 general election campaign.
