Oversea aid is 0.7% of national income, diddly squat. Apart from humanitarian reasons, Its in our interests that other countries don't fail.
We've been underpaying on health and social care for a long time. However we keep voting for parties that promise tax cuts, its not magic. Either we want a health service and to look after the elderly or not. If we do we need to pay significantly more as costs are going to continue to rise.
