Tories should give up £10m Frank Hester donation, most voters say

Exclusive: Poll suggests public want to see consequences for offensive remarks, and many favour giving money to anti-racism charity

More than half of voters think the Conservative party should give up Frank Hester’s £10m donation because of his offensive remarks, new polling suggests.

A snap poll, conducted after the Guardian revealed offensive comments the Tory donor made about Diane Abbott, has found the public want to see consequences for Hester’s words.
