There should be no foreign aid budget but there should be a foreign aid fund which can be used for disasters etc.

Name the MPs who insist in giving more of the money we have to borrow away.

[Jackdaw33]

Treason May for one.

If the foreign aid budget can be enshrined in law, why not other budgets, like education, health, policing etc?
Why single out just this one budget?

'[The Speaker] said he shared the "frustration" of MPs about the lack of a vote to date - but after consulting officials, he decided their amendment was outside the scope of the bill, meaning under Commons rules it could not be debated.

He added: "I expect that the government should find a way to have this important matter debated and to allow the House formally to take an effective decision".'

It sounds like it's not over and done eith yet.

It's quite obvious why The Cons need to cut Foreign aid
They have spent so much tax payers money on the The Con Crony Club , there is not enough left on the ,
Tory Magic money tree no matter how hard they shake it..... They have got to make cuts somewhere.

So much for wresting power back from the EU and letting the UK Parliament run the country.
After illegally proroguing the last parliament, Johnson continues to act like a tinpot dictator of a banana republic and deny MPs a vote because he knows that he would lose it.

[Jackdaw33]

Boris did not deny MPs a vote, the Speaker did.

Gulliver we still give more than many other countries. What % does russia china or usa give?

I prefer the adage that charity begins at home

13 38 Think that's what Boris was thinking when he refurbished his flat.

"Treason" May. Disgusting statement. It wasn't May who agreed to abandon Northern Ireland and have the border with the EU in the Irish Sea.

If your neighbours' house was burning down would you help?
