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
@B2DHDHX 1mo1MO
Foreign aid should be made more conditional and we should levy it in a more soft power strategic way. Other than this, decrease
@B25XQXB2mos2MO
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
@9QLQHN48mos8MO
Maintain at current levels with remove conditionality that introduces austerity to already impoverished countries. Also remove ability for U.K. to influence government administrations in foreign countries as part of aid packages.
@9QLQ7PD 8mos8MO
Once again depends on the situation within the country and their stance on human rights and if they are a country who has regularly allowed terrorism or has used funding too help promote terrorism. Would be dependent in my opinion on the situation.
