Disagree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

Labour acknowledges the importance of addressing terrorism but would likely argue for a nuanced approach to foreign aid that considers the root causes of terrorism and the potential for aid to support peace and stability, rather than broad denials of aid based on generalized criteria.

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

Disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit
