Theresa May urges government to reconsider foreign aid cut
Former prime minister Theresa May has urged the government to reconsider cutting its foreign aid, and stick to the promise made in the 2019 manifesto to "proudly maintain [the government's] commitment to spend 0.7% of GNI on development".
She added the impact on the poorest around the world, and the UK's reputation, were other reasons she opposed the cut.

The father of one of the Reading terror attack victims said the families are trusting the judge to make recommendations at the inquest conclusion that will “prevent other families from facing the pain, heartbreak and loss that we must live with every day”. Speaking outside of the Old Bailey on Friday morning, Gary Furlong, the father of James, said: “It is now almost four years since our boys, James, Joseph and David were taken from us in the murderous terror attack by Khairi Saadallah in Forbury Gardens. We waited patiently while the criminal trial and appeal by Saadallah ran their course. We have listened to six weeks of evidence at the inquest into our boys’ death." Report by Kennedyl.
