Newspaper headlines: PM says donor was racist and ‘funeral home horror’

A wide range of tales lead Wednesday’s papers. The Guardian reviews that Downing Street has described remarks allegedly made by businessman Frank Hester, the Conservative Party’s greatest donor, about Diane Abbott as “racist and wrong”. Mr Hester reportedly mentioned the MP made him wish to “hate all black women”. The paper says ministers initially stopped wanting describing the remarks, which Ms Abbott has now reported to the police, as racist. It additionally carries a follow-up report alleging that, throughout one crowded assembly, Mr Hester requested whether or not there was “no room for the Indians” and advised that employees climb onto a prepare roof.
