    Charged quote Trump makes closing pitch as US midterms enter final day

    And we're going to elect America first, Republicans up and down the line, all the way up and down. We're going to keep our nation strong. I've done it for one simple reason, to stop America-hating communists and jihadists from taking over the United States Congress campaign. In state after state, the Democrat party has dominated the most extreme and dangerous radicals.

    I've done it for one simple reason, to stop America-hating communists and jihadists from taking over the United States Congress campaign. In state after state, the Democrat party has dominated the most extreme and dangerous radicals. Yeah. But first, a quick reminder of what the midterms are. Americans choose members of Congress every two years.

    Story begins Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    Do you think that Britain should apologise for its role in slavery? I think that's exactly why Tony Blair did, 25 years ago. What I don't think we should do is have some sort of rolling apology where every Prime Minister, when they come in, has to apologise again. I think Tony Blair did it for the whole country. He did it once.

    Contested quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    I think Tony Blair did it for the whole country. He did it once. I think the reparations that were in some ways paid with the debt relief at the Millennium, you'll remember Brown went big on that at the time, was a lot of that. So I think, in many ways, we've answered this question. Now, we can focus on the past, if you like,

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    it's Caribbean countries, smaller Caribbean countries that have got economic difficulties are doing what many smaller countries do when they have economic difficulties. They look for somebody to blame. Now, the problem is the debts were wiped out in 2000, and they've now come back. Well, that wasn't Britain who put those debts on.

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    Now, the problem is the debts were wiped out in 2000, and they've now come back. Well, that wasn't Britain who put those debts on. It's nothing to do with slavery. It's to do with mismanagement of various different countries. And by the way, I'm not pointing at others where we can't look at home. It's true in many parts of the world,

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    So if you want to focus on the future, you need to be actually pretty rigorous on this. And the problem with Andy's approach is that Andy Burnham is saying one thing in the morning and another in the afternoon. He did this on the EU. He did this on Chagos.
