Everyone's always saying that Matt Hancock is as thick as mince but here he manages to get flagshagging nationalism and smug old-school racist social evolutionism into a justification for slashing #OverseasAid and the Tories killing children and babies

READ | My letter to the Prime Minister voicing my opposition to his slashing of overseas aid. It is cruel + extremely unwise in practice. #OverseasAid
Thanks to all those who have been in touch with me regarding this issue.
Thanks to all who have made it possible for MPs to vote on the #OverseasAid budget today. Encourage them all to restore it to 0.7%GNI. Contact details here: members.parliament.uk/region/countryโฆ
UK cuts to #OverseasAid will have devastating consequences for the world's most vulnerable, particularly in conflict areas. Any budget 'savings' are more than offset by the spectacular increases in the military budget. #FoodNotBombs
Combining Foreign Office and Dept for INT Development into one seems a good idea. Both trying to do same thing. #overseasaid #ElectionEve
#OverseasAid We canโt move on from this despicable vote. Overseas aid provides humanitarian aid, alleviating suffering & protecting dignity in emergencies. Health. Education. Civilian peace-building, conflict prevention, and much more. Protest is essential. SCIAF ๐งก Jesuit Justice
#Tory PM Boris Johnson: afraid of his own MPs; afraid of discussion & debate; goes back on his manifesto promises; acts contrary to UK law passed by Parliament; & when other #G7 states are increasing #OverseasAid the #Conservative Cabinet is allowing up to 100000 people to die
#Bury North MP James Daly MP wants to know what residents think about the cut in #OverseasAid in an online survey. You don't have to complete the questions about how you vote. 2 mins to complete.
Let James know what you think!

Add up the foreign aid we've shovelled out of this country, the EU contributions funding further overseas aid, the benefits paid to those who've moved here & tapped in, illegals arriving daily costing us dear, generous charity donations, I think we've paid in full #OverseasAid

If backed into a corner with the question: 'what have @conservatives ever done that I value?' its always the commitment made in 2013 to spend 0.7% of GNI on #OverseasAid . And now even that has gone. Truly the #NastyParty .
