  "textContent": "\n\n\nPrime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has issued a \"deep an profound\" apology to the victims of the historic forced adoption scandal.\n\nIn a statement to MPs, Sir Keir told some of the victims attending in the public gallery: \"We are deeply and profoundly sorry to the mothers who were told they were unfit, who were prevented from caring for the children.\n\n\"The shame is not yours. The shame was never yours. The shame is ours. And I say that on behalf of the whole country.\n\n\"I know that this apology will not be able to lift that completely. It will help a little, I hope, but it won't lift it completely.\n\n\"I hope that this statement, this apology, perhaps gives some of them the confidence to speak about what happened to them, because it will help in a small way.\"\n\n**WATCH ABOVE.**\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
