Foreign aid is necessary for UK influence overseas
It supports our national security interests, promotes trade and also assists countries in tackling smuggling gangs (drugs, people etc)
No wonder Reform won over the less educated at the general election…

I assume you also think tackling terrorism is not important, curbing the spread of disease, helping with humanitarian disasters.
When western countries support developing nations they would also be more inclined to support western nations at the UN instead of backing China etc

Imposing 20% VAT on private school fees will simply make fee paying schools more exclusive for the wealthy
We will likely see a reduction in scholarships and bursaries being issued which in some cases cover 100% of the school fees
