A top Tory donor who gave £100,000 to back Boris Johnson said he will not give money again, as he accused the Conservatives of failing to grow the economy.

Hotelier Sir Rocco Forte, who helped fund the 2019 election, said there is “no point” donating to Rishi Sunak’s party.

Asked if he would give money again, he told GB News: “No. What’s the point of having a Conservative government which is following policies which have been followed for the last 15 years and haven’t delivered good growth?”
