British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced criticism from the opposition during his weekly question time in the House of Commons for supporting the Conservative Party’s biggest donor, Frank Hester, whom made comments about Labour MP Diane Abbott. Mr. Hester reportedly said that she “makes you want to hate all Black women,” and she should be “shot.” In response to Labour Party Leader Kier Starmer, who asked the prime minister if he was “proud to be bankrolled by someone using racist and sexist language,” Prime Minister Sunak said the “alleged comments were wrong, they were racist … and he has rightly apologized for them, and that remorse should be accepted.” Other topics addressed included illegal migration, health care system funding, transportation investment, and the Israel-Hamas war. close
