Stop the proposed NI increase and use the foreign aid budget to fund social care

Closed 78 signatures

What the petition asks

Cancel the proposed NI tax increase and increase funding for social care by redirecting the foreign aid budget, which we believe is misused and too often does not reach its intended recipients. This money should instead be spent in the UK, before burdening the public with yet another tax increase.
The UKs foreign aid budget is circa. £13bn. Why should the British public be stung yet again with higher taxes when we are giving billions of pounds away each year? We should fund all our frontline services before trying to help others, or increase taxes.
