SUNAK HAS EXTRA £5M BOOST FROM RACE ROW DONOR

PM 'must return tainted cash'

-  MIKEY SMITH

RISHI Sunak has already accepted even more cash from the Tory donor he said made racist comments about exLabour MP Diane Abbott.

Frank Hester was the party's biggest donor after it declared £ 10 million of his support.

But the Electoral Commission had only reported donations accepted up to the end of 2023.

Now, it can be revealed Mr Hester has given more to the Tories since January -reportedly around £5m, a figure the Tories did not deny.

The £15m total equates to 40% of the new £35m spending limit for a general election and is almost as much as the party spent on the entire 2019 election campaign.

Mr Sunak eventually declared Mr Hester's comments "racist and wrong" on Tuesday evening after 24 hours of dithering.
