The Guardian reported that Andy Burnham has invited nations harmed by Britain's involvement in slavery to take part in shaping a formal apology, proposing a structured dialogue for the process. According to the Guardian, Downing Street made the announcement while the prime minister was attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda. The statement said those countries would have an indispensable role in producing a lasting message. The Guardian reported that the proposed talks were welcomed, but London continues to reject calls for financial reparations. Campaigners have been pressing for such payments for decades, according to the report. The Guardian said Lucy Hough discussed the developments with its Caribbean correspondent, Natricia Duncan, in a video available on YouTube.
