The former Labour MP released a statement following the comments reported to have been made by Frank Hester, calling them “frightening”. Diane Abbott said: “The fact that two MPs have been murdered in recent years makes talk like this all the more alarming.” The Tory donor allegedly said she made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”, according to a report in the Guardian. In a statement released on Monday, Mr Hester admitted to making “rude” comments about Ms Abbott, for which he was “deeply sorry”, but said they had “nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin”.
