[The government has won a Commons vote
to lock in cuts to spending on overseas aid, despite a rebellion by Tory MPs. MPs voted by a majority of 35 to keep the budget for international development at 0.5% of national income. But several Tory MPs joined Labour and other parties in an attempt to reinstate the 0.7% figure in place until earlier this year. Ministers say the cut is needed to keep public debt down during the pandemic. The government has faced cross-party criticism over the reduction - including from all the UK's living former prime ministers - which amounts to almost £4bn.] Crazy some MP's say we Promised at the Election of 2019. But then the Deadly China Covid-19 took over the World and the UK. People want that saved money spent on our NHS. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-57826111 Last edited by arista; 13-07-2021 at 04:26 PM. |

Shameful.
Not enough decent Con MPs stepped forward in this vote. Very disappointing but very telling too. |

POW! BLAM!

I wonder if this will be as "temporary" as they're claiming it will be.
