The UK only hurts itself by slashing aid budget


Chancellor Rishi Sunak (pic) has announced plans to slash about £4bil from the country’s development assistance budget. One government minister has already resigned, former prime ministers have decried the move and MPs are in revolt.

THE most enthusiastic campaigners for Britain’s exit from the European Union insisted that Brexit’s end result would be a “Global Britain” – a country set free to forge alliances, agreements and trading pacts across the world. More than four years on, we still have no clear idea what a Global Britain would actually look like.

No enthusiastic new trading partners have been discovered.
