POLICE launched an investigation today into racist comments reportedly made by major Tory Party donor Frank Hester at a meeting in 2019.

The probe comes after Mr Hester allegedly said that Diane Abbott, Britain’s longest-serving black MP, made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot.”

Mr Hesters remarks were reportedly made during a work meeting at the Phoenix Partnership, the healthcare technology company where he serves as CEO.
