The row over alleged comments by Tory donor Frank Hester about MP Diane Abbott, who Mr Hester reportedly said made him “want to hate all black women”, continues to feature on the front pages. Writing for the Guardian, Ms Abbott accuses the Conservative Party of “playing the race card” ahead of the election, citing as examples the Rwanda asylum policy and an increased focus on extremists, which she says is a “code word for Muslims”. The paper adds that a number of Tories have “broken ranks” and called for Mr Hester’s donations to be returned, something Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said his party doesn’t plan to do.
