Labour need to get on top of this ASAP and make it clear to voters that ‚foreign aid‘ is soft power, and, on top of other things, is one of the methods we use to prevent immigrants from trying to get into our country.

Before people go celebrating it you need only look at how Aids cases have rocketed up since USAID was cut.
Farage hasnt discovered this one simple trick we’ve missed for decades, he just does not care that Foreign Aid is important and that cutting it can and will have negative reprecussions on us down the line

The ongoing normalisation that we no longer need to assist the poor in other countries is really sad. It’s not the Britain I grew up in.

Tell you what, he did do such a a good job getting that 250m from Brexit per week to the nhs so I for one say let’s do it.
Who the actual hell falls for this shit?

Why are we giving foreign aid to India when they have a space programme.

Dutch person here, just wandered in sorry.
What’s the problem with the fuel payments in the UK? We had a similar support scheme in the Netherlands in 2022 and 2023 but it was cut now that gas prices are relatively normal again.
Have gas prices in the UK not come down? Surely that’s not possible if they’re down over here?

I thought Labour has already cut a large portion of foreign aid?

It’s all hypothetical. There’s loads I’d do if I was to become PM. Not gonna happen though. Also, I would think winter fuel payments will have already been restored before the next election.

They will stop foreign aid, but they won’t restore winter fuel payments.

Didn’t Labour already cut foreign aid for more defense spending?

Leader of a party not in power can’t do any of these things, and with a general election four years away, he won’t not be doing it for a while, either.

The media is gonna keep sucking off reform and then become a propaganda machine once they get in and ruin the country, exactly like what’s happening in the US

This astroturfing is getting really fucking tedious.

Sounds like the sort of thing someone would do if they wanted to increase immigration.
Dave_guitar_thompson on
Slashing foreign aid will increase immigration, so that’s kind of a problem.
ChickenPijja on
The same foreign aid budget that’s already being slashed by Labour to pay for more military to keep Trump happy?
Fuck there’s going to be no money left in the foreign aid budget, and that’s before Reform get into power
Trentdison on
So, damage our foreign relations to give a bunch of people some money they don’t need.
Genius.

The way the news reports on them, you’d think reform are in charge

Why do we always have to cave to the older generations?

Cutting foreign aid just means preventable diseases will make a comeback. Literally look at the rise in AID cases since Trump stopped all US aid.
This decision would lead to more desperate illegal immigration.

Bit above your station lads, work on doing something in your councils first

If they mean to restore it for everyone, regardless of how well off they are, then that sounds like a waste of money.

All Farage has is simple answers for complex issues. Same as with Brexit. Hopefully most people are smart enough not to fall for it.

This proposal will be a huge vote winner for Reform- like it or hate it or deny it- thats the reality.

They will need to come up something a bit better that taking a policy that has been all over the news as a very unpopular one for Labour and then saying they will undo it.
blindlemonjeff2 on
It’s called reading the mood of the nation. Redditors are making the same mistakes about Reform that they made about Trump in saying nobody wants it.

Farage makes life in other countries harder.
Farage moans about people moving from those countries to somewhere life is easier
Rinse and repeat.

Labour did not take winter fuel payments from those who need it.
They have also cut down on foreign aid by half.
Reform is right now, suggesting we should give our tax to wealthy old people.
iron81 on
Of they will. It has the word foreign in and also they have seen what Donny has done and thought that will do us. I have not heard any rational policy come from them

Non means tested payments to the richest group in society? Can we not have a party that tackles both immigration and the entitled boomers?
