Do You Agree With Jeremy Corbyn That The Uk Should Increase It's Overseas Aid?

I have read the Express report twice, and I cannot see where Corbyn says the Aid budget must increase. The quotes from Corbyn don’t say anything about an increase ?

"Another issue is laziness in the UK, people feel they don't have to work because those who do work will just pay tax that will end up in their pockets." - that's because we give free money to WSS, stop that too.
Eddie, not sure how anything I said supports the EU, strange goggles you're wearing.

naomi at 15.56 , you may as well get used to Jeremy Corbyn

Labour at the highest rating for decades, and that is before the latest government fiascos . I expect the Labour lead to show a significant increase after the recent Conservative political disasters.
Before you ask , you choose which , there are too many to single one out! May looks more like a headless chicken with every passing hour.

// In a letter, he said: “As the Office for Budget Responsibility revised growth figures down, the UK will now be spending £895million less than expected on the intended objective of aid which is poverty reduction and tackling disease.

“Are you confident that the Department for International Development (Dfid) has the resources it needs to deliver global development?” //

That is not a demand for an increase. The Express interpretation is bogus. Over 40 replies and no one noticed the story was fake news.

///JEREMY Corbyn has demanded Theresa May increase the bloated £13billion foreign aid budget after the Chancellor pledged to cut the controversial overseas spending plan in November’s Budget.///

///However, now Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has written to the Prime Minister to insist that she raise the amount of taxpayers’ money given out to international projects.///

Eddie, should Jeremy Corbyn and his potty Marxist mates ever rise to the lofty heights of government I would feel for the country. However, on a personal level it would make little difference to me because I can afford it. Can you?

[EDDIE51]

TTT as I said NOTHING you say supports the EU
It's your attitude that shows how a typical Brexit supporter thinks and what is convincing others that you and other Brexit supporters are disillusioned and short sighted . But thanks for your further proof of my contention , please keep it up .

[EDDIE51]

naomi, after 54 years of working, I started work at 13, I am now retired and on Pension credit, so yes I can afford it. Thanks for asking though .

[naomi24]

Eddie, I’m neither disillusioned nor short sighted. I see through your constant scaremongering perfectly.

[ToraToraTora]

eddie, can you stop talking in riddles what are you on about? I buy goods that originate from foreign countries. So what? how does that tie in with being a "typical brexit supporter"? I don't get what you are talking about? Is it somehow wrong to buy goods from individual EU nations if you are not and EU supporter? If I want to buy something from India must I first surrender control of my nation to India?

[naomi24]

Eddie, you can afford it now because other people are paying. Not so sure you'll be quite so flush when the economy is in ruins and the jobs of those who currently pay your benefits no longer exist.

Naomi you know I luv you, but don't you think that's a tad scaremongering ?

I did start work at the age of 13, delivering green groceries on a trade bike. I worked after school , weekends and school holidays. When I started 'real work' at 17 I still worked Saturdays serving in the greengrocer's shop and delivering orders. Then as soon as I was 18 I got a weekend job behind the bar in my local pub.

"Ah, the Labour Magic Money Tree again!"

It's almost like he magically found £1bn to bribe a bunch of fascists just to keep his pathetic party in power!

Oh, hold on...

[nannybooby]

Absolutely NO

eDDIE: "I did start work at the age of 13, delivering green groceries on a trade bike. I worked after school , weekends and school holidays.

" - snap, how are you not a Tory?

[EDDIE51]

naomi we will just have to see what happens when as is inevitable we get a Labour government. But I am not worried, too old to care about it. I do not own a house been in council property all my life. On Pension credit so I don't pay rent or council tax . I have even just got £1500 worth of dental work done all for free. If the predicted house price crash does arrive it will not affect me. I'm alright jack to quote myself .

[Gromit]

Baldric,
Those are not Corbyn’s words, they are the Daily Expresses.

Corbyn asked a question, ‘is the government confident that the Aid department has the resources it needs?’

That is not a demand for anything, let alone an increase. Usual Express lies.

[ToraToraTora]

right so you started off correctly eddie now you are free loading, I see.
