Prime Minister Andy Burnham says he is open to the UK formally apologising for its role in the transatlantic slave trade, but he has ruled out financial reparations.

It comes ahead of next week’s Commonwealth leaders summit in the Caribbean, as King Charles III tours the region amid renewed calls for an apology. Is an apology enough without reparations?
