Every year £14bn + goes to other countries and there's no proof that it is actually helping, quite the opposite actually .
This is uk tax payers money and should be used in the uk.we are £2 trillion in debt and have an underfunded nhs.
Due to covid 19 we will be further in debt after a decade of austerity.
Time to keep our money here.
