Quite happy for the overseas aid not to be reduced this year, far too many countries in need at the minute with war and famine, however I would like to see it used better and perhaps reduced in more stable years.
As to the taxes, I will hold back until it is all officially announced.

I feel the aid should be reduced and given back to our country like our NHS and to help the disabled and homeless.
