Labour MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy has warned that the Commonwealth could collapse if the UK government does not address reparations for the slave trade, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer heads to a Commonwealth summit in Samoa. Downing Street has dismissed calls for reparations and an apology, stating that it is 'not on the agenda' for the meeting. However, pressure is mounting from both Caribbean nations and within the Labour Party, with multiple MPs criticizing the government's stance as reminiscent of colonial attitudes. The Caribbean Community (Caricom) plans to present updated reparations demands to the UK in 2025, while all candidates for the new Commonwealth secretary general advocate for reparations. Ribeiro-Addy emphasized the moral and legal responsibilities of the UK to confront its colonial past, urging dialogue with affected nations. In light of a UN report estimating the UK's reparations debt at over £18 trillion, there are increasing calls for the UK to acknowledge its historical injustices.
