QuoteDisgraced Tory donor Frank Hester gave the Conservative Party £5m just days before Rishi Sunak called the general election, it has emerged.

The Tories faced widespread calls in March to hand back money given to them by the business tycoon after he was alleged to have said that Diane Abbott – Britain's first Black female MP – made him "want to hate all Black women" and that she "should be shot".

Despite Mr Sunak eventually condemning the remarks as racist, newly published Electoral Commission data shows Mr Hester's Phoenix Partnership firm donated a further £5m to the Conservatives on 17 May – just five days before Mr Sunak called the election, months earlier than widely expected.

I'm quite certain that repeating everything exactly as before and [ideally] re-running this leadership contest and reselecting Boris and putting Truss at the top of the party will fix everything
