Decrease and stop giving India most of it; it's a BRICS nation for god's sake!
@5BSKZTW4yrs4Y
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?
@8SMSXHT4yrs4Y
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.
@8SKPVCJ4yrs4Y
Government need to sort out poverty in the uk
@B3H865Q2wks2W
We should slowly start to decrease spending to conserve our own economy, but still be fair and kind to other countries to conserve relations. Also countries that have human rights violations and harbour/promote terrorism/extremism should not be given any aid.
@B386GW83wks3W
Decrease it but don't fully abolish it. Only give aid to European countries and countries that contain British population to help our people. Ensure that other countries can replace us.
@B2DHDHX 2mos2MO
Foreign aid should be made more conditional and we should levy it in a more soft power strategic way. Other than this, decrease
@B25XQXB3mos3MO
Israel should be allowed to defend against Gaza & Milatry aid to Ukraine should be limited if peace talks go ahead, but still be cautious what's given to them
