Starmer to make 'full apology' on behalf of British state for forced adoption of 185,000 children over three decades

Labour leader Keir Starmer is set to offer a formal apology on behalf of the British state for the forced adoption of around 185,000 children over a period of three decades, a deeply troubling and shameful policy that has long left many families and individuals devastated. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson emphasized that this apology will be comprehensive and comes after years of condemnation for the state's actions. This move is crucial as it acknowledges the historical wrongs and seeks to begin the healing process for those affected. It's a significant step towards addressing and confronting the legacy of these unethical practices.
