we haven't heard from frank hester himself yet that the | frank hester himself yet that the conservativee defended their right to accept and use the donation and say mr hester has rightly apologised for comments made in the past and he has apologised and shown contrition and we consider the matter resolved and they go on to say that fundraising is legitimate part of the democratic process and the alternative is taxpayer funding of political campaigning which would mean less money forfront line campaigning which would mean less money for front line services like schools and hospital or being in the pockets of the trade unions like the labour party. all of the figures released were for the first quarter of 2024, january to april 2024 so we know who has been funding the labour party and they have got their usual large amounts of money from trade unions but much more money from private donations in the business world when they use to get under jeremy corbyn�*s leadership and they have another £i.5 jeremy corbyn�*s leadership and they have another £1.5 million from the company founded by the

we knew back then that mr hester had given the conservatives £10 million in 2023.pany, mr hester gave the conservatives £5 million and another £150,000 was accepted in march — the day after rishi sunak�*s comments in parliament. taking the total to more than £15 million injust ten months. today, those donations are an election issue. people make comments, and i'm not going to stand here and defend those comments. but what's really important is the choice for people onjuly 4th. a conservative spokesman said that mr hester had rightly apologised for his past comments and shown contrition, so they consider the matter resolved. labour, who re—admitted diane abbott to their fold last week, said it showed mr sunak is a man with no integrity. ms abbott said the donations were an insult to all black women and the liberal democrats asked, "how low can rishi sunak�*s conservatives go?" henry zeffman, bbc news, westminster. sticking with politics, in a surprise move, the leader of the scottish conservatives douglas ross has put his name forward for a westminster seat in the g

more than half of that was from frank hester�*s company.ing money from a foreign government is dangerous to democracy and is unpatriotic. please get the candidate to state where their funding comes from. well, andrew, it's illegal for parties or candidates to take donations from foreign governments more broadly under uk law. there are rules on who a party or candidate can take donations from, but donations over £500 political parties must check the donor is uk registered either on the electoral register or as a company trade union or as a company, trade union or other organisation. candidates have the same rules, but the threshold is lower. anything over £50 must be disclosed. and then this is greg in sheffield, asking will any party ban lobbying or political donations from lobbyists? well, greg, there's no prospect of this. lobbying has long been part of the uk's democracy, and lobbyists can donate like any individual or company. none of the major parties want a ban on lobbyists. some, though, do suggest reforms to how political donations

the first relates to businessmen and consider donor frank hester.tt. mr hester apologised for making rude comments but said his remarks had nothing to do with diane abbott gender or colour of skin. nigel from sussex contacted us about mr hester asking us is the government morally obliged to election? political donations go to parties or individual politicians, not to the government. party donations are regulated and public by the electoral commission for the parties on a national level must report any donations and loans over 11,000, £180. and the donor in each case too. that also applies of several smaller amounts from the same donor cross this threshold. normally the electoral commission releases details of this every three months. during the general election campaign this data is published weekly. some was released on friday, showing that labour raised £926,000 in the first week of the campaign look up the conservatives raise 574,000. to put that in context, here are the donations in the first three months of this year. the conservatives accepted

frank hester , who over them.c comments regarding , diane abbott during regarding, diane abbott during a speech that he was giving and he's given the tories another £5 million in january of this year after the 10 million last year. and i think another 150,000 in march, we all knew that these were not good things. he shouldn't have said them. and yet the tory party has taken more money from him. so i always said right from the start that they needed to give the money back.i they needed to give the money back. i maintain that stance, however , i think it does bring however, i think it does bring into question how political parties are funded because i don't think there are any clean hands. whenever you look at politics, money is involved, donors are involved to all sides. so i think that either we need to have a proper conversation about political funding , or conversation about political funding, or we conversation about political funding , or we need to funding, or we need to understand that sometimes people's bel

miss hester. miss hester. sure okay.ith that, we will close public comment, and go to the commissioners. thank you for that wonderful presentation. and to all of the people who showed up to testify, i just have a couple quick questions for the project sponsor. if you want to come up to the microphone. you have a different plan for ongoing maintenance once the new building is built, so that you don't have the same deferred maintenance. absolutely. do you want to talk about. sure, sure. i think one of the big challenges, historically, that caused the deferred maintenance and was there was not the proper reserves that were established. and you were dealing with a model where the co-op owners, very low and moderate income and didn't have the ability to raise the amount that they were paying. and so, as everything you know, continued to go up and from an expense perspective that didn't keep up and there wasn't a model to have additional investment, so that was the challenge that, you know, outpaced in this case, the all of th

and paperwork, there's been a story about that for the conservatives because the businessman frank hesterwho was a tory donor, then he got into hot water for some comments he made about diane abbott that people thought were were quite violent and quite racist. he's now a tory donor again, chris. he is. so we knew that he'd given plenty of money, ten million quid in the past. what we've found out with this latest set of declarations is that there was an additional £5 million injanuary and then there was a further 150 grand in march, early march, march the eighth. and the reason that date matters and the donation was formally accepted by the conservatives about a week later on, on the 14th is that is when that whole row about that recording with those remarks that you referred to was all over the news and where rishi sunak and others were being asked a, you know, will you condemn the remarks? and b. did i say..? i thought i said one and two then, yeah. b, will you give the money back? and they didn't give the money back. they never claimed that they would, by the way. but yeah, whilst that

of course, eyebrows were raised when he didn't come rapidly with strong condemnation of what frank hesteror, had said about diane abbott, the longest serving female black mp. he did condemn that language, but the conservative party really, really had trouble over a few days giving it that kind of very stark, clear condemnation. and there are various other episodes, you know, i mean, in all political parties, yes. but it is a regular criticism of the conservative party that in various different incidents they have been slow to call out, particularly islamophobia, but other kinds of insults and other kinds of standard of behaviour. so i think this is not straightforward for rishi sunak, but it is very much a big moment in the campaign. whether it will shift any votes or not, i have no idea. but for him it is definitely an important and memorable moment of him as a politician. some of his supporters might say both there and at the debate this week that we talked about on wednesday night in nottingham, some people might feel in the conservative party, "where was this guy a few weeks ago?" wel

we'd like to correct an error made earlier regarding donations to the conservative party by frank hesteration of £5 million was made after the row erupted. the correct sum accepted after the comments became public was £150,000. the full effect of avian flu on the seabird colonies of the farne islands is coming to light, as national trust rangers carry out the first full count there for five years. one species that has been severely hit is the puffin, and wardens say it could take years for numbers to fully recover. alison freeman reports. challenging times for these seabirds on the farnes. and whilst the islands off the northumberland coast remain clear of avian flu so far this year, the long—term effect the disease has had on a number of the species is becoming apparent to the rangers who monitor and help the birds here. the rock base over there, there would normally be double the guillemots over there. you know, you wouldn't won't actually see the the rock because there'd be so many. despite the good news that there's no sign of the bird flu, we have had some quite catastrophic decline

let's not forget that they took frank hester's money and didn't apologise for his comments and or norurned the money. if i were them, i'd probably be pretty quiet about this. because you look like you stink of hypocrisy. we could say the same about the labour party, who are also standing racist candidates in this election. people have made racial slurs. the only party that seems to have taken any action is actually nigel farage's party. who stood them down in the middle of an election. >> has any candidate , benjamin >> has any candidate, benjamin or campaigner that you know of that we've heard of in the news recently said something like f word p word about the first british asian prime minister >> no, of course they haven't. and anybody that did on camera, they haven't. i have absolutely no doubt that they're not saying that behind a camera either, because you have to be a pretty extreme person to use that. i've never heard that said by anybody in my life of any description. so it's not a normal thing that people say about rishi sunak. what are the good things about rishi sunak is th

did he say anything about frank hester when he referred to diane abbott, making him feel physically sick >> there are there are burdens and goulden's rishi sunak is a prime minister. >> he's not meant to be a burden. >> i didn't say he was a burden. i said there are good and bad in all the parties, and, you know, lots of people would agree with what nigel farage said about the ukraine situation, but that's what this channel does. >> we debate yes or no. >> we debate yes or no. >> very fair. there's no no go areas. okay, but responding to mr farage's claims, a spokesperson for channel 4 said we strongly stand by our rigorous and duly impartial journalism, which speaks for itself. we met mr parker for the first time at reform uk's headquarters, where he was a reform party canvasser. we did not pay the reform uk canvasser or anyone else in this report. mr parker was not known to channel 4 news and was filmed covertly via the undercover operation . okay, so i mean, that operation. okay, so i mean, that is their statement now, we are, because we have mentioned the c word again, i have to read

>> well, mr hester rightly apologised for his remarks that he made , previously. here, because it's the regulator from government here, which decides the environmental crimes which he was convicted of. so the links there are very strong and that's why we're rightly concerned and rightly raised a motion . no confidence, which the motion. no confidence, which the first minister lost here yesterday summarily . yesterday summarily. >> thanks so much for talking to us today on gb news. so we will see what happens next. vaughan gething has gone to normandy for the d—day commemorations , but, the d—day commemorations, but, he's in an incredibly weak position here. and when you look at what happened with humza yousaf , i mean, it makes humza yousaf, i mean, it makes humza yousaf's tenure look long. just 78 days, will he cling on? will he perhaps stand down after the general election? we do not know, but it's an extraordinary turn of events. but back to you now in the studio, stephen. >> okay, catherine. thank you. right. don't go anywhere. we've got coyte heading in with

do we do we smear the whole tory party for frank hester's words and call them all racists for that, forno. do we smear the whole labour party for what the whole labour party for what the clacton candidate or diane abbott says and call them racists? no. so let's be clear about what the prime minister is trying to do by saying there's a culture in reform. he's trying to smear the whole party. he's trying to smear the people that are going to be voting for him. i'm going to be voting for reform. i'm not a racist person. i would never make those comments. so hopefully i'm more representative of people who are going to vote for reform than any of those vulgar comments that are made out of potential actor, and some nasty other activists and candidates. >> well, the nigel farage has said that a lot of the people who may have aligned themselves with the bnp or other sort of right leaning parties may have sort of been absorbed within his own party. he says that and actually says that what he did was probably help to squash the bnp because of that. but obviously every party will have its extreme
