This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.

Foreign aid should be cut ,because nobody appreciates it from the UK as we are always told we are racist and the money should go on defence and ex service people.

Foreign aid should be cut but not defence, or are we gonna lie down and let China and Russia march over our corpses?

I agree cut Foreign Aid.
But Defence needs a massive increase. The Royal Navy, needs massive expansion.
The Fleet Air Arm, needs 84 x Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning to equip both Aircraft Carriers and have a training squadron.
We need at least another 4 Type 26 Frigates. The 8 on order is too few.

stop all foreign aid definitely as we can use it to get rid of all the foreigners who dont belong here out

We need to cut our cloth to suit our means. Foreign aid is being used as a backdoor to syphon off public money in to the pockets of government cronies which they stash offshore. Then there is foreign aid given to countries who are well able to support themselves, and those who are in direct conflict with our own culture, as well as to despots.
As for defence, we wouldn't be spending so much on defence if the budget hadn't been an easy target for cuts time and time again. We are now playing catch-up.

Britain needs to atleast triple its defense spendings. It is also time to settle scores with the Vikings who decimated the native British population and take over Norway and end the problem of oil and gas for good.

If this year has taught us anything, it is that we’d have to be insane to cut defence spending

defence spending on constant overseas wars, eu payments – tell them to pound sand, foreign aid to countries like india pakistan and china – they all have nuclear waepons, money spent on illegal immigrants.

Stop foreign aid. Send all foreign criminals in UK jails back to where they came from. Send all illegal immigrants back to where they came from or back to france. Abolish that ridiculous unelected House of Lords. Reset the benefit society that has been created. Bring in a private company to run the nhs as in its present state it is not sustainable.
