Decrease and stop giving India most of it; it's a BRICS nation for god's sake!

Increase for very poor countries including those poor countries suffering natural disasters. Monitor situations carefully-e.g., why give to India which, overall, is rich enough to have advanced technological projects in some areas?

Aid should be humanitarian in nature and in the form of goods delivered direct to those who need it, not cash to corrupt governments and agencies who redirect it for their own purposes.

I’m all for giving money to those most in need, however, I seriously question any decision by any government to send aid to people who very loudly support the murder and destruction of the people in their own countries let alone in for example the UK as we have seen with Hamas

Should no longer be fixed as a percentage of GDP - should also be required to be spent on projects which further the UK's foreign policy goals - the UK can't help the whole world, therefore support should be targeted towards projects which provide most benefit to UK.

Foreign aid spending is fine. They're really just bribes and benefit our country a lot internationally

 @9QYGR2Qanswered…3mos3MO

We should increase funding to countries that Britain directly impacted the development of, e.g. India
