Hislop Questions Sunak Over Straightforwardly Corrupt Tory Donor's Knighthood
-
Ian Hislop questioned why Rishi Sunak and a Conservative Party treasurer are not in jail over the treasurer's knighthood, which Hislop called "straightforwardly corrupt."
-
The treasurer is Egyptian-born billionaire Mohamed Mansour, who donated £5 million to the Conservatives.
-
Mansour was given a knighthood in a surprise honors list released before Easter by Sunak.
-
Hislop said Mansour has "come to Britain and given the Tories a huge amount of money and he immediately gets a knighthood from Rishi Sunak."
-
Video of Hislop's remarks was widely shared, with many agreeing the knighthood seems corrupt.
