Curious how so many are egging on the cut to foreign aid from 0.5% to 0.3% saying we need to invest in defence But so few are calling to rejoin the EU where we could recover 4-5% in GDP and use some of that to fund defence

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Would we really want to take that path?

Every day the cruel two-child benefit cap pushes an additional 109 children into poverty. Keeping it is a political choice. Scrapping it would lift 300,000 kids out of poverty overnight. The government needs to scrap the cap immediately & give every child the chance to thrive.
