Charity starts at home - Part 2 - Overseas Aid - Post Covid - 19

Sky News: Reports " MPs voted 333 to 298, a majority of 35, to back reducing overseas aid spending from 0.7% of gross national income to 0.5%.  "

Lets Get Real:

The BBC/Guardian/Channel 4 news will run with this story, they will get the various charities on, and say how much death and destruction will be caused by the cutting of overseas aid.  What these reporters will not do is show how much the UK has spent on the pandemic, the PM stated it was 407 billion and its not finished yet.  The UK economy has been in a coma for over 12 months, the UK Government has spent billions on furlough as to allow workers to keep their jobs.  At some point this has to be paid back, the Fat Lady is singing and she wants her money back.   The Conservative Government has done more for the working class than Labour has ever done with the exception of the NHS.  Also the Labour Party is on the wrong side of the polls when it comes to this issue, care about home first, then spend when you have the money. 

Charity starts at HOME - UK overseas aid Cut - After Covid 19

BBC News: Reports " The government has won a Commons vote to lock in cuts to spending on overseas aid, despite a rebellion by Tory MPs.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Conservative Government had promised tax hikes if the Conservative Party MPs did not vote to confirm the reduction in overseas aid, that was something no real Conservative MP could vote for, if the Tories are about anything it is about TAX CUTS, not TAX HIKES.   Also the PM stated the Government has spent 407 billion on protecting the UK population from the economic effects of COVID - 19.   At some point this has to be paid back, the Conservative Party is about keeping the economy in the black and not in the red.   Thus the 25 MPs who voted with Labour need a real talk with their local Conservative Association, the Chief Whip should give them call, these chairmen and women should remind their errant MPs that they need to be selected for the next general election and thus should get back in line.
