Anneliese Dodds comments on Tory talks with Frank Hester about £5m donation

Anneliese Dodds MP, Labour Party Chair, commenting on reports that the Conservatives are still in talks with Frank Hester about a further £5 million donation, said:

"It is frankly staggering that, after his repugnant racist and sexist remarks, the Conservative Party are still trying to arrange a donation from Frank Hester. It shows the depths to which the Tory Party has fallen.

"The Conservatives need to pay back every penny, cut ties with Frank Hester and apologise unequivocally to Diane Abbott.

“And Rishi Sunak needs to grow a backbone and deal with the extreme views that appear to be tolerated in his party.”
