The prime minister has resisted calls to hand back £10m donated to the Conservative Party by businessman Frank Hester.

Speaking in the Commons, Rishi Sunak condemned Mr Hester’s alleged remarks about MP Diane Abbott as “racist” and “wrong” but insisted he had shown “remorse”.

Labour is calling on the Conservatives to give the money back.

Today on the Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Labour MP Dawn Butler and Sky’s deputy political editor Sam Coates about the matter.

Plus, Sky correspondent Amelia Harper takes us through her report uncovering a WhatsApp network of children who are filming themselves killing and torturing animals.
