Should the UK spend more on domestic issues than international commitments?
UK public spending exceeds £1.3 trillion annually, with foreign aid at around £13-14 billion or roughly 1% of the total budget. Domestic areas such as the NHS, welfare and housing already receive hundreds of billions yet face pressures from rising demand, planning constraints and delivery challenges. International commitments include defence, which the Conservative leader has called the highest priority, alongside aid that aims to promote stability, reduce migration and serve UK interests.

Not just more - solely. Why are we sending money abroad when we have domestic issues to resolve? Utterly ridiculous.
