Not the right guy to be saying this kind of thing.

A welcome step from the PM.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade was one of history’s most heinous crimes.

We must be honest about how the horrors of our past have shaped the present – because only then can we begin to build a fairer future for everyone.https://t.co/AzG1dsy5gz

The Transatlantic slave trade is long gone. There are other slave trades though.

There are still open slave markets in modern day Islamic countries. Yazidi women were openly made into daily rape victims by Islamic slave traders. Talk about that. https://t.co/r8nG4jNNNO
