As MPs debated Frank Hester's alleged remarks about Diane Abbott at Prime Minister's Questions – and Mr Sunak's defence of the Conservative Party since - the former Labour MP was not called to speak about her own experience.
Rishi Sunak appears to have ruled out returning money to a Tory donor who allegedly said Diane Abbott made him 'want to hate all black women' and 'should be shot'. Asked at Prime Minister's Questions by Labour MP Marsha De Cordova if he would hand back one of the specific donations from Frank Hester's company - £15,900 covering a helicopter trip - Mr Sunak said 'no'.
But he said Mr Hester had 'apologised genuinely for his comments and that remorse should be accepted' - turning his ire on Sir Keir for supporting former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who he said 'let antisemitism run rife' during his tenure. Sir Keir said: 'The difference is he is scared of his party. I have changed my party.' The SNP's Stephen Flynn also accused Mr Sunak of 'putting money before morals', adding: 'This is complete rubbish.
