“No. I think we should focus on understanding our history in all its parts, not running away from it, but making sure that we now have an inclusive and tolerant society for people of all backgrounds,” Sunak said Wednesday at the weekly question time in parliament.. “Dismembering history” is not the right way, continues Sunak.

He responded by commenting on a question from Liberal Democrat MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy whether he would make a “full and meaningful apology for our country’s role in slavery and colonialism and a commitment to reparations”.
