Image caption, A variety of stories lead Wednesday’s papers. The Guardian reports that Downing Street has described remarks allegedly made by businessman Frank Hester, the Conservative Party’s biggest donor, about Diane Abbott as “racist and wrong”. Mr Hester reportedly said the MP made him want to “hate all black women”. The paper says ministers initially stopped short of describing the remarks, which Ms Abbott has now reported to the police, as racist. It also carries a follow-up report alleging that, during one crowded meeting, Mr Hester asked whether there was “no room for the Indians” and suggested that staff climb onto a train roof.
