Replying to @RoryStewartUK
The world is connected & interdependent. Foreign aid is not simply a case of ‘hand-outs’. It allows the UK to promote women’s rights & education. Which, in turn leads to better outcomes for all. A stronger global south provides opportunity & resources for us all.

Many live in very tough situations in Britain but the extreme poor in sub-Saharan Africa live in much tougher conditions and money goes much further there. It would be grossly irresponsible for richer countries to ignore global poverty because there are issues at home
"People in the Administration think it's quite likely that Trump will cut all US international aid. It's the moment that Europe has to step forward.. We need France," @RoryStewartUK. Rory, you've spoken out MORE for International Aid, than for pensioners, farmers, or bus travel.
