Kemi Badenoch has been doing the rounds today telling us that racism and threatening language against a black woman is trivial and so last week, proving that these Tories will say literally anything for votes.
Biggest Tory donor said looking at Diane Abbott makes you ‘want to hate all black women’

That response from baddenoch doesn't win votes though. Even if the voter has some racist tendencies that response comes across as plain dumb and nobody wants idiots running the country.
The Tories have some rubbish advisors at the minute but the scary thing is, you shouldn't need an advisor to know how to deal with a huge donor being outed as a racist.
In connected news the tories, apparently, have taken another 5 million from the guy which will show up in the June financials.
They have been asked and have neither denied nor confirmed the 3rd donation.

I don't know if it will be successful but the attempt to appeal to a certain demographic whilst justifying future donations is plain to see, and the cynicism behind it along with the willingness of Badenoch to be the messenger, is pretty bad.

She also said the comments weren't actually about Diane Abbott...

She joined the Labour Party in 1982, 42 years, which says a lot about her.
She has served as an MP under 11 [eleven] leaders of the party during that time, and during that time there have been many differences and disagreements within the Labour Party, both at grassroots level and in the PLP.
A party and politics which silences debate, discussion and opinion is authoritarianism, not democracy.

Are you absolutely sure about that?

Hard to see how a black woman saying a white racist isn't racist is going to win the votes of white racists who hate black people. Then again, the world went mad years ago.
