Hester, CEO of TPP, faced condemnation for his comments inciting violence and hate towards Abbott, leading to calls for his donations to be returned. Despite claiming that his remarks were not related to Abbott's ethnicity, the public outcry has been intense.

Labour Party has urged Chancellor Rishi Sunak to give back Hester's £10 million Tory donation. The situation escalated when Hester's comments surfaced, indicating a disturbing attitude towards black women. Former MP Diane Abbott expressed fear and alarm over the remarks, highlighting the impact of such hateful rhetoric in politics.
