Closed Reduce Overseas Aid from 0.7% GDP to 0.35% to fund Social Care in the UK

Closed on

Social Care in the UK is hugely underfunded. Meanwhile our Overseas Aid budget of 0.7% of GDP (@£12bn) is among the most generous in the world. Reduce the target to 0.35%, which is more in line with Germany 0.4%, Canada 0.3% and USA 0.2%, and release the estimated £6bn to fund Social Care in the UK.
