Labour members are urging Keir Starmer or his successor to make international development a priority, warning the party’s reputation has been damaged by his decision to slash the aid budget by 40 per cent.
In an exclusive poll, 61 per cent of those surveyed said that they believed the government reducing aid from 0.5 per cent of gross national income (GNI) to 0.3 per cent of GNI in 2027 to help pay for an increase in defence spending was "too much".
