Conservatives Accept £5 Million Donation from Controversial Donor Frank Hester, Total £15 Million
Jun 6, 2024, 06:51 AM
The Conservative Party has accepted another £5 million donation from Frank Hester's company, The Phoenix Partnership, in January, according to new Electoral Commission figures. This brings Hester's total donations to the party to £15 million, making him their biggest donor. Hester has been a controversial figure due to his racist comments about Labour MP Diane Abbott, including statements that she 'should be shot' and that she made him 'want to hate all Black women.' Despite these remarks, which Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned earlier this year, the party has continued to accept donations from Hester. The controversy surrounding Hester's donations, which include £10 million last year, has sparked significant criticism and debate.
