“CONSTANTLY Looking To The Past!” Starmer Faces Mounting Pressure To Address Slavery Reparations

Sir Keir Starmer has confronted calls for the UK to pay reparations for its historical part in the slave trade while surrounded by Commonwealth leaders.

Speaking at an executive session of a Commonwealth summit in Samoa, the Prime Minister said it was important to acknowledge a “hard” shared history, and that he understood the “strength of feeling” about reparations.

The Prime Minister has insisted reparations are not on the table for the Commonwealth summit, even as leaders from Caribbean and African member states have called for discussions on the issue.

Talk’s Alex Phillips discusses the issue with historian and author Martyn Whittock.
