Corbyn to spend more on foreign aid than military and defence is he on this planet 🌎?

Foreign aid should be stopped and the money spent in this country. Charity begins at home.

Corbyn is going to spend - spend - spend. With no idea about where the money is coming from - oh right, Another huge loan from the IMF.

Corbyn is a liar. Up to this point I thought he was OK. But saw him on telly the other day perpetuating the old Establishment fake news that UK is the worlds 5th richest country. NO IT AINT !! Sure, it may be the 5th or6th biggest economy GDP wise, but that is not the same as rich. GDP is akin to turnover in a commercial company. So, when Woolworths went bust, they had a turnover of £2 Billion a year. But they could not make enough money to service their debt, so they were bust, kaput, gone finished. Your local kebab house might only turn over £250,000 a year, but because they may have no or negligible debt, they are still in business and are by definition richer than a now non-existent busted flush like Woolworths. A much better measure of national wealth would GDP over debt, further divided by gross population. That formula takes the UK way down the national wealth table. When politicians of all parties tell you the UK is a wealthy country, they are perpetuating a myth, because people cannot understand why, if that is the case, UK has to keep cutting spending here there and everywhere. The Foreign Aid budget is there because politicians cannot admit on the international stage as to how broke UK is.

Hi No this old dyed red in the bed will never grasp reality. he has lost the plot back in the 1980's. we had all that nonsense when we or should i say had to belong to a union when it was a closed shop nonsense. they are dinosaurs.

Its usually high on the agenda for most politicians.Ex Portsmouth.

The Tories have already cut the military to the bone if you bother to look up the latest Strategic Defence Review and Army 2020 plans.

...... I do love that double standard. When Tories make cuts to the military, police or border force they are being fiscally sensible, when Labour does it, they're putting us all in danger.

......... I take it you still blame Labour for mass immigration too even though non-EU immigration has increased since they left power and the Tories have had 7 years to fix it?

Foreign aid is a considerably more useful investment

Simple economics, you need to invest to grow. It's weird someone like Corbyn has the best grasp on economics, this should've been Tory-policy, but clearly they prefer the anti-economic austerity measures, which leads to Aristocracy.

Military, and Defense are money-pits, they cost billions, bring nothing in return, except extra costs in refugees, and rebuilding.
