- Rishi Sunak spent Prime Minister's Question Time fending off demands to pay back the ten million pound donation the businessman Frank Hester gave the Conservatives.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
Last night Downing Street agreed that Mr Hester's reported remarks about Diane Abbott were racist. But Mr Sunak said that his remorse meant he should be forgiven. Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer said that showed that Rishi Sunak lacked courage and was unable to lead.

Never mind the racism stuff; how about just because it's £10m from a private healthcare software boss? I thought bribery was illegal.
Lobbying should be illegal but Labour also benefit massively from it
Allegedly his company got alot of valuable contracts and then a £10m donation is given. Smells like bribery.
i can not understand how this is legal. its genuinely crazy
@@insomniacbritgaming1632name one example if you can.
He's made about £300m in ppe from that donation too, that's what we should be getting back not a paltry £10m
“Is the PM proud to be bankrolled by this man?”
Rishi: “absolutely 😊”
"Bankroll, where, sign me up" - Rish! (quite possibly)
All crooks, nothing new
Real
Donations = open bribes
Yeah he was awarded hundreds of millions worth of contracts by the corrupt Tories
JUST PAY TO BE A LORD AND NOW JUST PAY TO BE RACIST !!!
The Tories need to just get out. And what's with calling a May election "early"? May is supposed to be when we have one. It has always been that way until this party decided to play games with when they get held. I don't think saying they spent the money is good enough. They are all damned rich, Rishi alone is worth £750 Million. I hope people vote against these people so hard that they are not even in opposition.
there are also alot of very rich Labout MP's,
one party state with Labour in charge...no thankyou.
@@Davyscales but but but the left
@thebrowniestjohnson3244 Labour can't even be considered left of centre anymore.
@@thebrowniestjohnson3244 Current Labour are center right you sp4stic
£10 million is 1.37% of Rishi Sunak's household net worth.
Green with envy?
@@lervish1966 No, are you?
If it was anyone else they'd be charged with inciting violence against a member of parliament! But £10m and an apology will make it ok!
@@lervish1966why shouldn’t you be????
His wife's, and so what. If you tale 5mins you'll the amazing wealth of Mr Blaire & his family. It didn't come via being a PM.
Is he not going to be charged with inciting violence against a member of parliament? But wait, an apology and £10m make it ok!
A prosecution for such an offence can usually only happen up to six months after the incident occurred
Was John McDonnell? or Jo Brand, Or Myriam Margoles?
Or is it OK when Lefties incite violence?
Totally agree. Wonder what the Polis think about this??
You and I would. But not them. Different rules for them.
Apparently he was "rude" and this isn't the sort of extremism they care about. So yes, apologize for being rude, donate £10m and MPs will go out into the studios to pretend he's suffered enough.
I mean they're Tories....your man could have actually shot Diane Abbott and they'd not have given the money back.
Would he keep the money if it was Anti jew remark never would they forgive them
Or anti -Hindu
£10million....? Of course
Rishi cares about money over anything. Everything has a price for the little man.
Can anybody tell me what the supposedly racist comment was? The news people don't seem to have the decency to report the facts
@@GavinGaswhat fact is that?
@@GavinGas He said that Diane Abbott should be shot, and she makes him feel hate for all black women.
Diane Abbott is my local MP and she has support me with an issue I am having with a Government body. She replies quickly and extends herself to truly help. She's been our MP since before I was born.
She’s also one of the most racist MPs in government. She’s a disgrace, and a terrible MP who has no common sense nor moral compass. However, the comments made were highly unacceptable and the donor should be reprimanded for them. Despite his views on her, didn’t give him the right to say that.
I'm sorry about your personal issue but I have always said it is amazing how she is an MP and it os people who vote for it.
Maybe works for you, I would imagine she gets someone else to write the letters for you, she struggles from 1 to 10. Best of luck to your personal life
@@garyteeley9637this ^. She’s not fit to be an MP. And that’s not due to race or any other characteristic other than the fact that she’s wholly incompetent. Seriously surprised how she’s been voted in so many times. She is genuinely useless.
Awwww poor white chav crying about a strong black woman who has endured nothing but racism throughout her political career. @@JoshWaller
And cue the predictable righty boy comments.#
Oh, they've already started.
What exactly does Hester think racism is then?
He doesn't think.
Nothing, he'd argue burning crucifixes on peoples doorsteps was part of British tradition
I can't believe this is being framed as a coms issue, imagine if someone in the Labour Party said anything like this about an MP? You have to imagine it because none of them have. The double standards at play here are astounding! Clear who the actual extremists are though, every Conservative accusation is a confession.
Utterly pathetic and disgraceful performance by Sunak,
Broken system
Real
Sunak needs to go he’s a disgrace and the worst PM ever
Giving 10m away I wonder how much he made from government contracts 😂
His company TPP has £400m in government contacts over the last 8 years and as the sole shareholder he's made £30M in dividends from TPP over the last five years.
Every time I see Sunak he makes me want to hate all Tory’s. The difference between myself and Frank Hester is I don’t want to see them shot.
Me too
But do you hate all Tory's?
@@simonhopkins3867 with a passion mate
Anybody playing the 'not taking lectures' card has instantly lost.
"Hey look, I'm not going to take lectures from someone who can't go to the toilet without supervision"
Rishi Sunak to his own children, probably
@@andrewgreen5892 I doubt he has the stones for such words, especially as by now, the kids will have learned to preface with "mummy said ..."
As for the OP. I wonder how much their NEED to keep playing the Jezza card, plays into their stubbornness to continually defend Israel's genocide. If they truly acknowledge it, they'd be acknowledging that Jezza was right and neither the Tories or wannabe Tories can deal with that.
@@ChrispyNut Could you imagine being his child and trying to have a meaningful conversation with the guy.
I feel bad for them to be honest, they obviously have their priviledge and will have gold leaf safety nets etc for all of the failed communication and life lessons with daddy dearest, but it will still be really frustrating. Same for a lot of kids of those in public life...
How can the very person being discussed and who is rising to Speak not be called by the Speaker of the house. Unbelievable! The moral compass of this house is completely broken!
'integrity, professionalism and accountability'
Sunak, we must rid this country of racism.
Week later.
Nah, it’s ok because money.
😂
Power is supreme for them, everything else is a distraction or an inconvenience.
I am no fan of Diane Abbott, she is a very divisive figure but the Speaker did not call her even though she rose 37 times to defend herself ,I am not saying he is the worst Speaker ever but Bercow would have called her, This Speaker keeps defending his Labour Party
how is he defending labour? derp. he didnt let her speak! hes defending the tories as usual.
@@kanedNunableHe is defending Labour because Abbott made anti semitic statements. Which got her suspended in the first place.
Sunak! has got this completely wrong. His handling of this has tarnished his legacy. He has turned out to be the biggest disappointment in British politics! The tainted money should be returned. I can not see how they could keep that money from a violent racist!
He hasn't got a legacy to leave.
@thinkerz8tipitina784...Money of moral is Rishi Sunak legacy. If he said that about South Asian/Desi women in the UK. Best believe Rishi Sunak would have condemed it there and then. But its just a Carribean lady named Ms. Abbot
What legacy he's literally been trash every day for the last few years just like his cabinet
Money speaks and every cnut in that house knows it
Can I have your money?
Leaving the EU, the biggest trade bloc in the world and signing a trade deal with Australia and Texas....
Don’t forget the eu needs us more than we need them🤣.
You couldn’t make this up. This is the best that our government could do by signing a new trade deal with Texas when we had it good only next door oh my god🙄🤦🏾♀️. Our political system has been hijacked by complete & utter loonatics scary times.
If he had any class (or decency), he'd have donated that £10million to a charity of Diane's choice and showed some unity across the political spectrum to fight off racism.
Diane Abbot IS a Racist , she LIVES off racism she encourages
The worst thing is he surely had advice to do that and said "nah, I want to hand Labour the biggest majority in history" he's not very bright, this one
Can anybody tell me what the supposedly racist comment was? The news people don't seem to have the decency to report the facts
@@GavinGas Quote: "It's like trying not to be racist but you see Diane Abbott on the TV, and you're just like… you just want to hate all black women because she's there."
@@jamieisausername thanks. I just read it. Plus the rest of the quote, which stated he doesn't hate black women. It wasn't remotely racist, just a gag about how odious Abbott is. Nothing wrong with that.
What does 'wrong' mean? I can understand a 7 year old saying it but not an adult with a degree. Oh, hang on, it's PPE.
The man admitted he said it yet alleged is still being used. The protection is unbelievable
Little Rishi Sunak
Isn't Hester's comments an example of the "hatred" supposedly destabilizing British society that Sunak gave that silly press conference about about last week? Yet, this week it's ok?
Lyndsey Hoyle silenced a victim of crime by denying Abbott the opportunity to speak. That is unacceptable sexism and racism from the speaker of the house.
Hoyle should resign.
Let's not play on the racist bandwagon again. It's a big stretch for Lyndsey Hoyle to be labelled a racist. Nice try though but that cards been well and truly expired since BLM. Wind your neck in.
@@nickymccann9614spot on. These race grifters are like a crack addict seeking out a fix.
No shame for Conservative ministers and they behave like they have come from the gutters
He’s not only had his 10M not returned but he’s been asked to pay another 10M to the conservatives as a fine. 😂
Can anybody tell me what the supposedly racist comment was? The news people don't seem to have the decency to report the facts
@@GavinGas they've literally said it in this video, he said "seeing her on the TV just makes you hate all black women" and "she should be shot"
A trade deal with the state of Texas? 🙄
I thought that, only 49 more states to go 😂 🇺🇸
It's so they can spin the narrative. "This government agreed 50 brand new global deals" 😂
I didn’t even know she’d been kicked out of labour. Kind of rich to use her now when it suits to attack the Tories.
She got kicked out of Labour for racist and anti semitic statements.
He won an NHS contract and paid 10mn to the Tories.
How is this not corruption.
Sunak really knows how to sink .
How the heck is this little thing the prime minister of the United Kingdom!!!!
The more politics I see, the more I understand Guy Fawkes
Scandal after scandal after scandal. This is exhausting. And this is only the stuff we know about!
Dianne Abbot was removed from the party for racist comments 😂
yeah, but the money did nothing wrong.
Little Rishi opened by saying allegedly! The man is useless.
PM’s price tag is the contaminated £10m 😂😂😂
I went from being proud to be british to absolutely hating it, nothing will ever change in this country.
"Oh, sorry. We can't give it back because we've spent it already." 😂
It was 15 million they lied about the amount. The sick thing is that all the Tories stole more than that in PPE contracts. The PM could drop 15 million and not notice.
That's like asking a rat not to eat cheese 😂
Why is nothing being done about these corrupt tories
Uk should vote the Royal Family out of office
#MakeBritainGrearAgain
The evil in this world is so out in the open nowadays its actually tiresome calling them out
The donor said nothing wrong
The UK needs proportional representation and regional parliments
If Kim Jong-un or Mr Putin were to give a few million pounds to the tories, Mr Sunak would find reasons to accept
There is a Russian in the Lords already
Go to England on holiday: sorry we can't take your Scottish cash but we do accept your oil, gas, renewables, whisky and water"
pay 10m to get 400m in contracts. at least they used to try and hide this. how is this not bribery?
#FREE PALESTINE ##
DEAR Prime minister give BACK the money.
Sir my daughter work's for a phone companies and they can't can't say what there political view are or share her feelings. This Man who is a business men Should have known that RACISM and Racist are TOTALLY EXCEPTED by the vast majority of people.
So have the dignity and give the money back all of it .
end all financial lobby now. why on earth is this blatant bribery allowed?
Rishi doesn’t understand the fact that people can say sorry and talk the talk but… inside never change. Return the money!!!
Tory MP's : it is time to write letters to the 1922 committee...
True, Rishi Sunak will not set the precedent for spending massive amounts of his own money to try stay in power; Jeremy Hunt set the precedent (donated £100k to his local conservative party about 2 weeks ago)
Why would he give it back?
He's every bit as racist.
Alleged. Fortunately, the public has already seen through him.
"Money talks
Money talks
Dirty cash I want you
Dirty cash I need you oh"
Corrupt individuals
He could always donate the 10ml to Black Lives Matter , that would get a few votes I suppose
Why not he got Hundreds of millions in contract for it corrupted to the core
Rishi saying the Tories are a modern party for electing an Asian PM whilst taking money from someone making racist comments is not a good look.
Why are they allowed to call a statement of mutual cooperation a trade deal? It's not a trade deal, US states can't sign trade deals.
Like i said 10 million should go to the people of england 🏴 not just 1 person all lives matter.
I think you missed the point, the money didn't go to "just 1 person" it went to the Tory party...
IAMSUPREME Sunak got 5mill personally and then Tory party got 5mill. If you think for 1 minute that sunak was gonna give his 5mill to us then you’re sadly mistaken. Sunak doesn’t care for us or for our country. All he’s ever cared about is making money for his family and for his mates. Even though he is the richest PM we’ve ever had but unfortunately this greedy little Gollum just wants more and more and more money. He doesn’t care where it comes from as long as he gets it. He bet against our country when we had banking crisis in 2010 that’s when he first made his millions. That’s not patriotic. For him to claim that he IS patriotic well just remember that’s a lie. A true patriot that claims to care about their country would not bet against their own country and to move up to levers of power to just enrich themselves at our expense.
Why do these people feel the need for so much money?
If you can afford a month of from work for a holiday, that should be good enough.
Although Badenoch called Hester out before Sunak, she hasnt mentioned giving the money back. That would be biting the hand you hope to support the party if you become leader huh?
Don't give her too much credit. Part two of her post reads "Some people make flippant comments without thinking of this context.
This is why there needs to be space for forgiveness where there is contrition"
Badenoch just wants to damage Sunak. Or is she woke!
Should give it to a charity nominated by Diane Abbott.
The Diane Abbott Foundation.
hahahahahaha save the socialist idiots fund !
@@lervish1966synonym for spastic society

Like would he give the money back.... the tories are greedy and corrupt
I would accept £10 million from absolutely ANYBODY. I m really easy
They'll do and say anything but won't give back the money
That 10million probably funded Sunak's dreadful PR campaigns
Todays moral code- your own enormously rich Primeminister keeping £10,000,000 pounds from a sexist,racist backer & then telling us we should not disagree....the mind truly boggles x
Should never n allowed. A company getting government contracts and giving to the part who give the contracts out.
He has not apologised... PM stop lying.
Got 40 million NHS contract lent Sunak Helicopter so gave million back how corrupt is that.
10m won’t make a dent in Tory losses in election, just like Gaza won’t make a difference either to labour.
There’s nothing the PM had done wrong! He still can take the contributions from this gentleman as because he made this certain remarks about this lady not a racial ! Country is focus on issues that needed the most! This PM is the last person to support any racism in this country!
How does one sign a trade deal with a state within the United States? Trade is something determined by the president, house and the senate.
This seems like some BS spin.
Well done keep the donation and he deserves a Knighthood .
lol why are the parliament sounded like a 3 yer old debate team
Because he needs the money… maybe he can donate it instead?
I may a be a cynic, but someone who gave a £10 million donation to the party in government but makes £150 million profit on contracts that the same government awarded him, so he got his £10 donation back + £140 million. Not a bad results for his initial donation, seems a win, win situation.
Children bickering over issues and complaining to their father for advice. What has this method actually achieved?
grow up.
Imagine if he had said this about Rachel Reeves or Suella.
Firstly, The £10m vs being a racist are completely separate entities. Take the money, but don’t give him any credit or tax benefit. So starmer has lost on that point. Secondly, WHY would sunak and cleverly be racist people? As an Indian, seeing another Indian getting PM is great. He embraces being a minority and doesn’t mind people of other ethnicities. I’m no tori nor labour supporter, but it seems like labour is making small accusations and wasting British taxpayers money rather than solving the big issues.
wtf. he called for an MP to be shot!
you see, how are you better than a white supremacist? you like rishi because of his ethnicity, nothing more. have a long think about yourself eh?
oh and he gave them 10m to get 400m in contracts, you think thats ok?
What a mess😢
Absolutely disgusting
Ask Diane abbot to count the 10 million it will be a totally different amount , the racists card is used too often and for many different reasons even when you can't count.when will Anglo Saxon people start using the racists card ? We seem to be becoming the minority!
"urged to return the money".......Laughable, dont these critics ever realise that they are dealing with ''people' whose ONLY interest in life IS MONEY.....lots of money !!!! & preferably, taxpayers or donors money.
Corruption
clown circus
Rishi did not condemn anyone
