Revealed: Sunak flown to Leeds for private tour of Frank Hester’s office weeks after £5m donation

Fresh questions raised over Tory donor's access to prime minister following November visit

Rishi Sunak was flown to Leeds by Frank Hester for a private tour of the businessman's offices on the day after the autumn statement last year, raising questions about the access afforded to the 10m donor bankrolling the Tories' election campaign.

Sunak's relationship with Hester is under the spotlight after a Guardian investigation revealed on Monday that the mega-donor made comments about Diane Abbott which have been widely condemned for being racist and misogynistic.
