PM promises to break manifesto tax pledges

[Heathblue]

Fck off Carol you Talentless cttt

I think she was talking about Sir Kier not you

[Pedro de la Rosa]

You’re forgetting the billions we pay in foreign aid. If you looked at the breakdown of what we pay yearly, who we pay it to and why, it’s mind boggling! We are 2.8 trillion pounds in debt, but hey, that’s not much, let’s help everyone else, and also let’s let 1’000’s and 1,000’s of immigrants to enter the UK illegally and molly coddle them.
Be careful though. If you have the audacity to question any of this on here, you are instantly branded as a right wing racist!!

Cut foreign aid so we can look after our own citizens.

Can poor kids get toast at schools? Also no.

In 1970 the UK set a target of spending 0.7% of national income on aid. For the next 40 years we got nowhere near that. In 2015 the 0.7% target became law (not an aspiration) and it was met until Boris Johnson reduced it to 0.5% in 2021 during Covid.

In February Starmer announced it would be reduced further - to 0.3% - from 2027, but in annual steps down. The difference between 0.5% and 0.3% is to go on arms (to tick a box with Trump) not on doctors, nurses, police, or getting the homeless into permanent homes.

In the past 2-3 year somewhere between 20% and 35% of the entire overseas aid budget has been spent in the UK on asylum seeker accommodation (hotels, barges, barracks....) and not gone abroad at all!

The biggest single recipient of UK aid is Ukraine!

I don’t really care what % of whatever it is, this country is in a mess and the things our tax is supposed to pay for are struggling badly.
Before you can afford philanthropic ways, you should really be sorted in your own house.

The faaaar left rejoice in spending other people's money especially when it's being laundered back to themselves.

Its outrageous that Thatcher spent loads of other people's money on bribing the electorate by giving huge reductions for buying council houses

Shocking

Dreadful

Putin's about 50 miles closer to us than he was 5 years ago. They have an economy smaller than Italy. Russia's probably the last Country we need to be worried about.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story Jon.

Development work always had a branding problem and got away with it for years, describing their work as 'aid' was always going to be latched upon by the disingenuous right. It is essentially strategic spending abroad, it was never much but it had a noticeable affect in places where we wanted a presence.

There are a lot of British people who don't see the world beyond their back garden.

I know you don't care about the % or the details - but we live in a country where the wealth gap is the highest in the developed world (apart from the USA) and I would rather see the £ for doctors, nurses, police and homeless (or whatever else is the priority) coming from those who have grown grotesquely rich on the backs of the rest of us, rather than people in poverty and destitution in other parts of the world.

I always thought the Labour Party were supposed to close the gap between the rich and the poor in the UK. What’s happened to Sludges mob?

Old men are now looking after their mother's, wife's, daughters and grandchildren because your sort abandoned them and left them to the mercy of those who feel they are worthless and have no right to say no. And we don't give a **** what your labels are anymore, you have gone to far and the fightback is on.

To Ukraine for defence is essential, unfortunately, and who thought we’d be talking about war and Hitler like invasions 70 years after WW2 ended. It’s very different to the other asylum seekers coming here, the Ukrainians don’t want to be here or rely on us for benefits, the others are just here for a free ride.
