Our response to the announcement on cutting overseas aid 👇
Text statement from LCID which reads: After the Tories hollowed out Britain’s defences, only Labour can be trusted to rebuild our national security. As internationalists, we believe in Britain’s global role and the need to stand up to Russia and stand with Ukraine. We agree that the UK should spend more on defence but not at the expense of our overseas development budget.   However, the decision to slash aid spending by 40%, to its lowest level since the 1990s, will see the world’s most vulnerable pay the price. Such a severe cut will see fragile states made more fragile, poor people made poorer, and the impacts of climate change made harsher. In the poorest parts of the world, we risk seeing our adversaries advance and seeing forced global migration accelerate.   In turn, this cut will see threats to our international security grow – not shrink. In a time of geopolitical upheaval, this is the moment for the UK to stand tall and project our values in all corners of the world - through the balance of defence, development and diplomacy. We urge the government to think again.

We should tax the rich, not cut foreign aid.

Repost of you agree.

I didn’t use ‘the other place’ much and I probably won’t post here much either, but just saying Hello to those who know me. Bluesky looks good ))
