Rejected petition stop the UK government from using taxpayers' money

The United Kingdom is reportedly in debt by £22 billion, yet the government continues to allocate taxpayers' money to other countries.

More details

This practice needs to stop. UK funds should prioritize addressing domestic needs, especially during times of financial strain. While international aid has its place, we must ensure that the nation's own challenges are resolved first. The UK is not a charity, and its resources should reflect the priorities of its citizens.
Perhaps the government should start a dedicated charity and ask for voluntary donations, rather than giving away money that doesn't belong to them.
