UK PM Burnham Open to Slavery Apology, Rules Out Reparations Ahead of Commonwealth Summit

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has confirmed openness to a formal apology for historical slavery but explicitly ruled out financial reparations, a position reiterated ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Antigua.
