You feel the need to make a speech about this as though it’s on everyone’s mind, it’s not, it’s a north London dinner party talking point, the rest of us are worried we are hostages with no say over our lives in our country

Answering your questions on the legacy of transatlantic slavery 👇

[Backlash @Backlashcrew]

Couldn’t have put it any better,
I would only add we can give an apology as soon as we get a thank you for being the first country in the history of the world to end the slave trade and force others to end it too

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.

If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?

On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.

There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.

As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.

This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.

Where you finding all this money?
And the other day did I hear you right that you think we have to give foreign aid, separate of this ofcourse, but we have to give foreign aid so bad things don’t happen here, you’re saying give money or else 😂

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

Today we’re announcing a new £10bn package of support for Ukraine.

This funding will help Ukraine meet its immediate needs, support economic resilience, and help defend its sovereignty from Russia’s illegal invasion.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

[Backlash @Backlashcrew]

@sophielouisecc This is shocking

[Backlash @Backlashcrew]

But more than half the price is taxes there is something you can do,
Start with cutting foreign aid to any country with a space program or nuclear weapons, Pakistan and India for example,
End mass migration and the strain that is putting on all our services and you’ll find money

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.

The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.

But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.

That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.

It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

Just many people will be concerned, not the British people at large? that is interesting you put it that way Prime Minister

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

I know today's incident near RAF Fairford will be deeply concerning for local residents and for many people following developments across the country.

My thanks go to Gloucestershire Police, Counter Terrorism Policing, our Armed Forces and all those working to keep the public safe.

I am especially grateful to those residents who have been asked to leave their homes while precautionary checks are carried out.

The safety and security of the public is our first priority, and I want people to know that we will always take every step necessary to protect our communities and keep our country safe.

The investigation remains ongoing, and I would urge people not to speculate while the authorities establish the full facts.
