The Independent – PM admits donor who said MP should be shot was racist 

The Independent leads on the prime minister’s u-turn over comments made by top Tory donor and businessman Frank Hester, who said MP Diane Abbott made him want to hate all black women and that she should be shot. 

Abbott has filed a complaint with the Met over the comments, amid a time of increasing violence towards MPs. Hester donated £10 million to the Conservative Party last year. 

Elsewhere, the paper features a large image of internet celebrity Andrew Tate who is to be extradited to the UK to face charges of rape.
