Should Britain pay reparations for its role in the transatlantic slave trade after Charles' apology?As the King expresses his sorrow over Britain's historical involvement in slavery, the debate over reparations is once again gathering momentum. Former Bristol mayor Lord Marvin Rees joins PoliticsJOE to explain why Britain needs to confront its imperial history and why the argument for reparations is about much more than simply handing over a cheque.He also challenges the idea that reparations would mean ordinary white working-class people paying for the actions of their ancestors. Instead, Rees argues that wealthy elites profited from slavery while exploiting Britain's own working classes, and that politicians are increasingly using working-class grievances to shut down an important conversation.Is it time for Britain to confront the debt it inherited?Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.

Donald Trump’s second presidency has been marked by a striking lack of resistance. While figures inside his first administration regularly challenged his decisions, Trump 2.0 has seen politicians, business leaders, media organisations and institutions fall into line.So why has America’s political establishment become so reluctant to stand up to him? In this interview, Jacob Weisberg, journalist, formerly of Slate and author of Profiles in Cowardice, explains how Donald Trump has consolidated his power, and why so many of the people who once opposed him have since capitulated.With the US midterm elections approaching, Weisberg explains why a Democratic victory in the House of Representatives could fundamentally change the political landscape, opening the door to investigations into Trump's administration, corruption and abuse of power.Buy Profiles in Cowardice here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/818503/profiles-in-cowardice-by-jacob-weisberg/Subscribe to How to Rebuild Britain now: https://linktr.ee/howtorebuildbritain Hosted on Acast.
