As of February 2023, Mansour had donated £600k to the Conservative Party (UK).[12] He made a donation of £5 million that May.[13][14] The then opposition Labour Party demanded Tory prime minister Rishi Sunak return Mansour's donation, after it emerged one of Mansour's companies, Mantrac had still been operating in Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.

He is OK with Ukraine being invaded. He is on the wrong side of a lot of other social issues.

Doesn't want the PR hit but clearly aligns with hate politics and cozy with Putin.
