British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak accepted remorse from top Conservative donor Frank Hester after racist remarks towards Black lawmaker Diane Abbott surfaced. Hester apologized for his comments, deemed racist by Sunak's spokesperson. Junior minister Kevin Hollinrake suggested keeping Hester's donations, citing his apology. Opposition parties urged returning the funds. Despite backlash, Hollinrake hinted at accepting more money from Hester, emphasizing the belief that he's not racist. The incident adds to Conservative Party's internal conflict over racism, with former deputy chairman Lee Anderson suspended for remarks about London's Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan.
