Rational Voices with Sunil

Should Britain apologise again for its role in the slave trade — and could that open the door to slavery reparations? I joined GB News to discuss Andy Burnham's proposed apology, the Commonwealth summit, modern slavery, Britain's historical legacy and why I believe the focus should be on tackling slavery today rather than demanding further apologies for the past.

Britain's immigration system is under scrutiny as Labour announces new asylum reforms.

Why is the UK backing hundreds of millions of pounds of infrastructure projects in Angola while Britain faces huge public debt and struggling infrastructure at home?
