Full exchange: Sunak and Starmer have firey clash over Diane Abbott race row
Watch the full exchange between Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer at Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) on Wednesday, 13 March.
This week’s PMQs touched on a Tory donor’s alleged racist remarks against Diane Abbott, Britain’s longest-serving black MP.
The Guardian reported Frank Hester, chief executive of The Pheonix Partnership (TPP), made his comments during a company meeting in 2019, where he said: “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.
“And I don’t hate all black women at all, but I think she should be shot.
“(The executive) and Diane Abbott need to be shot.”
TPP said Mr Hester “accepts that he was rude about Diane Abbot” but claims his criticism “had nothing to do with her gender or colour of skin.“
