There’s a far easier and cheaper way to make sure YOUR money gets spent the way you want it to be spent. Put into government a political party that has the firm intention to have small government and preferably none at all where it’s not needed. But we haven’t had one of those for thirty years. Otherwise you will just have to pay up and get used to it. Tax money isn’t your money once you’ve handed it over, never was, never will be.

The whole thing can be solved by simply adjusting peoples' tax code accordingly. The same policy should apply to the funds released to pay for illegal immigrants. You want them, you pay for them!

[@richardharris7214]

We've given [=wasted] millions to France for not stopping the illegal immigrant invasion, millions to Rwanda for not housing asylum seekers, and billions to Ukraine to lose a war, so why not give the odd half a billion to some African farmers which will be inevitably be siphoned off into the coffers of various corrupt regimes? Thanks for voting Labour, Tory and LibDem, people. This is the result.

Perhaps their Government needs to replace its fleet of Mercedes limousines. Since they now have to be electric, (by order of Miliband), the cost has risen considerably and our ‘Aid Budget’ has to reflect this.

Ukraine produces an incredible amount of food for the world. I believe something like 20% of the world Wheat production. If we let the Russians take Ukraine, I suggest we give our farmers maximum support. We are going to need them.

Well Starmer did tell everyone he stood for the working people who couldn’t “just write a cheque for things” (much like his close friend and fellow Labour Party supporter Lord Alli does for him and his comrades). He just forgot to mention that all those working people had to be born in a different country, or in the case of asylum seeking “refugees” they didn’t actually have to be working either.
