Public Vote Required on Overseas Aid Spending
We call on the Government to consult the British public and hold a vote before sending taxpayer money overseas. The people should decide whether funds are prioritised for foreign aid or invested in our own National Health Service, Armed Forces, and essential services at home.

Background
Across the United Kingdom, many citizens believe it is unfair that their hard-earned taxes support other nations while communities at home face declining services, stretched resources, and rising costs of living. Schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and defence require urgent attention. The public deserves a direct say in how their money is spent and whether domestic stability and recovery should come before international financial commitments. MPs are not reflecting the will of the people!
