Summary

80% Informative

Calls for the UK to provide reparations for its role in the slave trade reignited ahead of a meeting of Commonwealth countries on Friday .

Sir Keir Starmer said reparatory justice would not be on the agenda.

But Commonwealth leaders plan to move towards a "meaningful conversation" on the issue.

Caricom is calling for European countries to invest in science, technology and capital toward improving hospitals, healthcare , and mental health support for descendants of enslaved people.

The UK government has never formally apologised for slavery or offered to pay reparations.

It is not Labour Party policy to introduce reparations and Sir Keir Starmer has not shown any intention to break the mould.
