Original Note:
Ms Badenoch, Minister for Women and Equalities, correctly points out that Hester's comments were racist. However by focusing on his apparent apology the related offences contained within Mr Hester's statement go unmentioned; namely misogyny and violence. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68539981.amp https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/12/black-britons-feel-hurt-by-hester-attack-on-diane-abbott-says-ex-tory-adviser
