Labour is more interested in funding other countries and growing their economies, claims Patrick Christys
Patrick Christys has criticized the Labour government, saying that it seems more interested in spending money abroad and helping other countries grow their economies than solving problems here in the UK.
He points out that many people in Britain are struggling with rising energy bills, and some pensioners are even freezing to death in their homes because they can’t afford to heat them. At the same time, Labour is sending billions of pounds overseas.
One of the biggest concerns is Labour’s decision to spend £11.6 billion on climate aid for other countries. Christys argues that this money could be better spent at home, helping vulnerable people like pensioners or improving public services.
He also criticized Labour for approving an extra £84 million in foreign aid shortly after Keir Starmer became Prime Minister, even though Britain’s economy is shrinking, and the country is close to a recession.
Christys mentions that schools in the UK are struggling too. Some are using temporary classrooms because their buildings are unsafe, and parents in Surrey might need to homeschool their children because the state education system is overwhelmed.
Instead of focusing on these issues, Labour is spending money to improve education for 7.5 million children in Malawi. Christys argues that while helping other countries is important, the government should focus on helping British children first.
Labour also recently sent £11 million to Syria, but Christys highlights concerns about how the money might be used. The government didn’t remove Syria from a terror watch list, raising fears that the money could end up in the wrong hands.
Similarly, Labour pledged £30 million to a UN group that recently fired staff over alleged links to Hamas. Critics argue that this shows poor judgment when British taxpayers are struggling.
Labour has committed £3 billion every year to Ukraine to support their fight against Russia, but Christys says this comes at a time when the UK’s own armed forces are facing cuts. He also points out that British farmers are being burdened with higher taxes, while Labour is giving around £500 million to help farmers in other countries.
Christys raises other examples of Labour’s priorities, like spending millions to help Italy with its migrant crisis while not doing enough to deport foreign criminals from the UK.
He also criticizes discussions about reparations to Commonwealth countries, which could cost billions of pounds. Meanwhile, illegal immigrants are being housed in old care homes while many British people are struggling to find proper housing.
He argues that these decisions show Labour is not focusing on the needs of the British people. While the UK faces major problems like rising poverty, pensioners dying from the cold, and an economy heading into recession, Labour seems more concerned with helping other countries.
Christys concludes that this approach makes British citizens feel abandoned and ignored by a government that was supposed to put their needs first.
