If you suggest a binman should *not* take an £8K pay cut, they will also call you a communist.

Cutting aid to the world’s poorest to fund defence isn’t just unfair; it’s short-sighted.
Poverty and instability go hand in hand, and slashing development funding only makes the world less secure. The government must instead ask those with the broadest shoulders to contribute more.
