The communities secretary insists Frank Hester has shown 'contrition' over his comments, despite the businessman insisting they were not about the former Labour MP's gender and skin colour.
Michael Gove says he is inclined to 'exercise Christian forgiveness' when it comes to alleged remarks a Tory donor made about former Labour MP Diane Abbott. Earlier this week, the Guardian reported that businessman Frank Hester told his staff Ms Abbott made him 'want to hate all black women' and 'should be shot'.
Both Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and the SNP's Stephen Flynn attacked the position, with the latter accusing the prime minister of 'putting money before morals'. However, despite being in the chamber for the entire session - and standing up over 40 times to try and secure a question - Ms Abbott was never called to speak about her own experience.
