The prime minister wants an ‘honest discussion’ about how immigration has changed since Brexit Q: What do you say to the argument that an apology for slavery could be good for British security and British interests, particularly in terms of relations with China? Badenoch said China would not be impressed by the UK apologising. She went on: China did all sorts of things. It’s not out there apologising. The purpose of the apology is to make us look weak. It is to make this country look weak. And once we start looking weak, then we have every man and his dog making demands and sending us an invoice, which the British taxpayer has to pay. Dynamic alignment is a red line because it gives away the biggest freedom that we have from leaving the European Union, which is to control our own laws. That’s why it doesn’t make any sense … Look at AI, for example. We are doing so much better than them.
