Police probe 'racist' remarks on Diane Abbott

POLICE revealed today they are investigating alleged racist comments made by Tory party donor Frank Hester about Diane Abbott at a meeting in 2019.

The West Yorkshire force said it was working to establish whether a crime had been committed after the businessman allegedly said that Ms Abbott, Britain’s longest-serving black MP, made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”. The investigation was passed over from the Metropolitan Police as the meeting took place in Horsforth, Leeds.
