Police in northern England are investigating the largest donor to Britain’s Conservative government over allegedly racist remarks towards a Black member of Parliament. Frank Hester, CEO of The Phoenix Partnership, reportedly made offensive comments about Diane Abbott, Britain’s first Black female MP. Despite apologizing for his remarks, Hester faces scrutiny as the police determine if a crime was committed. The controversy has put pressure on the Conservative party, with calls to return the substantial donations received. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned the remarks as racist, but acknowledged Hester’s apology. The investigation continues as the public expresses outrage over the reported comments.
