Black Britons should put pressure on Andy Burnham for slavery reparations, a backbench Labour MP has said.Bell Ribeiro-Addy, who is a member of the Socialist Campaign Group, claimed millions of voters of African descent could force MPs to buckle to calls for reparations.The Clapham & Brixton Hill MP told attendees at a conference: “As a politician, there is nothing that motivates politicians like whether or not they are going to win their next election.“There are enough people of African descent within our countries, within Britain in particular, that would decide that.“Imagine if they were all rooting for the same cause,…
Earl Spencer has issued a formal apology to Piers Morgan after conceding he made a mistake in his explosive memoir about Princess Diana. The error centred on Spencer’s claim that Morgan was editing the Daily Mirror when covertly taken photographs of Diana exercising in a leotard at a gym were published in 1993. In reality, Morgan did not take the helm at the Daily Mirror until October 1995, meaning he bore no editorial responsibility for the images, which appeared in the Sunday Mirror on 7 November 1993.At the time the photographs were printed, Morgan was in fact working as a…

A Cambridge college has been accused of ignoring guidance on single-sex spaces after replacing traditional lavatory signs with the gender-neutral labels “cubicles” and “cubicles/urinals”.
