Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s decision to slash foreign aid from 0.5% to 0.3% of GDP has raised eyebrows within his own party, which is known for its strong support of international aid. Despite this significant reduction, even high-profile Labour figures, like Foreign Secretary David Lammy, have reluctantly accepted the decision.
Lammy, usually an advocate for foreign aid, acknowledged that “we must deal with the world as it is,” signaling the difficult reality of the Labour government’s fiscal policies, according to the Express.
