Only provide foreign aid for national disasters and emergencies

What the petition asks
We spend 0.5% of Gross National Income (GNI) on Foreign Aid a year. The Autumn Budget confirmed the UK would spend £13.3 billion in aid for 2024/25 and £13.7 billion in 2025/26.
Why are we giving OUR money away?
We think we should only use Foreign Aid for natural disasters and emergencies.
The rest should be spent at home. We believe there would then be no need to cut the Winter Fuel Allowance.
