Jennifer Hudson, Director at the @DevEngageLab told us that the public's perception of how much money is being spent on overseas aid is "wildly inaccurate". Views on inefficiency, waste and corruption across government also play into how much the public think we should spend.

Pretty stark reminder how some MPs think of state schools - no bright futures or opportunities there...
20 May 2025
Thirteen thousand children, whose parents sacrificed everything for a brighter future.
Thirteen thousand children with hopes dashed, with opportunities crushed.
Thirteen thousand children, betrayed by policies that stifle their dreams.
Thirteen thousand children who deserved better.

For Britain, Sudan crisis is not just a humanitarian emergency.
Excellent article in @thetimes about why we should take Sudan seriously on the anniversary of the crisis from Former Chief of the Defence Staff, Jock Stirrup.
