How the hell are #Tories going to save all this money?

And as for reducing the already diminished #OverseasAid budget....
Do that at your peril.

So we take billions away from #overseasaid and give it to America for #F35s and nuclear bombs to make the world safer.
Ummm
Dwight Eisenhower telling a story about the might of America in a speech about overseas aid for children. Eisenhower was a spokesperson for the 1948 Crusade for Children. We could sure use the Crusade today to reverse the budget cuts to global food aid.

"The world had been on track to end the AIDS pandemic by 2030 – instead the death toll is set to triple by the decade’s end.
Speaking to The Independent, Trump defended the decision and accused European countries of failing to contribute to the global HIV response."

The Chancellor states #defence spending will increase to 2.5% of #GDP by reducing #OverseasAid to 0.3% of gross national income. This will boost defence by £2.2 billion. #UK #SpringStatement #SpringStatement2025
The UK is cutting the UK overseas aid budget. Does this mean we have to give more to charity as individuals? And if we don't where does it leave charities?

Cutting foreign aid instead of raising taxes to pay for defence was a tough choice. But if half the households in the UK donated a pound a day to a charity working in that field, it would plug the gap #charity #overseasaid
What a great time to be cutting #overseasaid
Raising #OverseasAid "back to 0.7%" "when economic conditions allow" will be small comfort to those needing aid because of "economic conditions" now!

World map showing which countries in 2025 should contribute overseas aid and which countries should receive aid. Among other factors, it is fundamentally cumulative CO₂ emissions that drives the need for hashtag#lossanddamage funding** Unless or until those historic emissions are drawn down, relatively rich countries like the UK, the rest of Europe, Canada - and Russia - need to step up to help Central America, Pakistan, Somalia, Vietnam etc. to cope with the extreme weather-related consequences of climate change. In future, China may emerge as a donor nation and, using the Nature Comment method, Australia and the US already would qualify for funding because of the extent of their climate change induced extreme weather impacts - so I excluded them. ** ** Grantham Institute https://lnkd.in/ej6ujkHF
Cutting the UK's #overseasaid budget from 0.5% GDP to 0.3% is not what is needed - Sky News lnkd.in/eexizRTd
Worsening #extremeweather means UK's share should now be 0.7% (the pre-Covid goal). Unless warming is limited to 2°C, the % of GDP needed increases. Nature Comment shows why lnkd.in/ewxFbKA5
During the election campaign I said that when faced with a choice between being force fed a plate with 1 pile of shit and one with 2, the right decision is horrible but clear.
Keir Starmer has proved that he really is a pile.
The Express and Mail will be delighted.

Cumulative carbon emissions of the major economies showing that the UK (to 2010) had the biggest proportion of legacy emissions of any country. The UK: this is where the industrial revolution started and those old emissions are still causing loss and damage in countries that have emitted very little CO2...
Catching up on #ukparliament #G20 and #COP29 summits statement: the Prime Minister ducked a question from MP @werahobhouse.bsky.social about paying into the #lossanddamage fund, pointing to the UK's #NetZero efforts. At the very least, the UK needs to restore its #overseasaid budget to 0.7% of GDP.
