Abbott calls Tory donor’s comments frightening

Diane Abbott has said comments allegedly made by a top Tory donor that the MP made him “want to hate all black women” and that she needed “to be shot” were “frightening”.

Britain’s longest-serving black MP said the “fact that two MPs have been murdered in recent years makes talk like this all the more alarming”.

According to the Guardian, Frank Hester made the comments at a meeting in 2019.

Mr Hester has apologised for making “rude” comments about Ms Abbott.
