Ditch foreign aid waste

With the coronavirus pandemic causing untold damage to our economy and our communities, it is high time that our government repealed the International Development Act, guaranteeing 0.7 per cent of our GDP.

For decades our taxpayers have shelled out billions, succeeding only to make foreign politicians and their relatives in other countries wealthy.

We continue to donate well in excess of £1billion every single calendar month but our daily TV news footage never shows any improvement.
