The King schools Burnham | with Robert Tombs

from Coffee House Shots

Has King Charles shown Andy Burnham how to handle the row over slavery reparations? Following the Commonwealth summit, historian Robert Tombs joins James Heale to discuss why the King’s carefully worded speech struck the right tone – and whether Burnham’s intervention risks opening the door to billions in compensation claims. They also discuss Britain’s role in abolishing the slave trade, the growing demands for reparations and whether the Commonwealth still has a future. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
