Abolish the mandatory Foreign Aid Target. Spend OUR money at home.

What the petition asks
We believe it is time our Government got its priorities right and abolished the mandatory Foreign Aid budget target.
When we have homeless veterans sleeping on our streets, it is wrong to spend over £14bn a year on Foreign Aid.
We should be looking after people who fought for their country.
