Labour is accused of 'rank hypocrisy' for calling on the Tories to return £2million in Russian-linked donations but refusing to do the same
- Labour accused of 'hypocrisy' for not saying if Russia-linked £1m will be returned
- It received it from hedge fund tycoon with business connections with Russia
- Labour claimed such donors gave Tories £1.93m since Boris Johnson became PM
- But Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke has called the party's callout 'rank hypocrisy'
Labour was accused of 'rank hypocrisy' last night for calling on the Tories to return nearly £2 million of Russian-linked donations – but refusing to say if they would do likewise.
Sir Keir Starmer's party was challenged to say why it was not returning part of more than £1million received from a hedge fund tycoon who had business connections with Russia.
The row broke out after Labour seized on the Ukraine crisis to urge the Conservative Party to hand back money from any donor who had made money from Russia or had alleged links to the Putin regime.
