Rishi Sunak has tried to explain why he has no intention of returning the £10m party contribution from a donor who has been accused of expressing extreme racist views, "Honestly, as the man in the street knows, we'd love to return the money. But quite frankly, we can't. We don't have it any more. We spent it."
"The £10m was what funded major initiatives, like the Downing Street lockdown drinks parties, lots of helicopter flights of 20-30 minutes duration, significant electrical distribution infrastructure in North Yorkshire, and one of our MP's continuing prodigious coke habit.
"And as for the rest, well even we would admit we kind of frittered it.
