Interesting. If you add up the so-called '10 ten recipients' it comes to a total of 1.2 Billion. The total spend, as mentioned in this link, was 15.7 billion! A bit of a gap there don't you think So where did the rest of the money go?

A bit of a gap there don't you think  So where did the rest of the money go? I only read the first couple of pages but I think it is clear that a significant proportion is being used to fund the cost of immigrants that are arriving here without due process. I can understand why the Government would do that given the financial hole they have dug for themselves aligned with chaos in our immigration management. But to your point, it's not China and India to any significant degree. Here I agree with you, it shouldn't be given to those countries at all.

From your link.....
" Receiving £2.4 billion in 2021, India became the largest recipient of DAC country donor’s ODA. *The UK contributed £91 million (3.7 per cent of the DAC total) of this."
*My bold.
What a terrible document. On Page 5 it says in 2021 India received 46m, yet the piece I've mentioned above from page 48 says it was 91m ?!?!?

Update from Blackpool South. "At 16.9% of the vote, Reform UK’s performance in Blackpool South is the party’s best ever performance in a Westminster by-election". This was a Tory seat. The Conservatives beat Reform by just 117 votes. Ladbrokes have taken down their odds on Reform polling over 9% in the next GE. If they come back and are around Evens. Fill your boots. And this is without Farage putting his weight behind them (which. like him or not he surely will).

It is good news Firstly that some people have a democratic outlet for their views. Secondly that the loons in the Tory Party have a home to run to. This is a re run of the UKIP episode.
The trouble for them is the people they attract to represent them melt under the glare of scrutiny. Whilst they are crawling around in the under growth nobody pays much attention to what they say. Until it looks like they have a chance to be elected, then most people recoil in horror.

Reform leader Richard Tice,have thrown a handful of repesentitives out himself. Labour to win GE. Reform to win a few seats in Parliament and be heard. Labour to ruin UK. Reform to win the election after next.

Perhaps But ultimately this is a protest vote without a strap line, unlike UKIP who had one policy, leave the EU and naff all else.

Frothing at the mouth populism is never an attractive proposition Yes,as we witnessed at the Hamburg 'Caliphate' rally the other day. Unfortunately many muslims agree with those mad eyed screaming weasels.

Update from the Bookies. Their odds don't reflect their views, they reflect people putting their money where their mouth is. Yesterday you could still get 11/10 on Reform to poll over 9% in the GE. After Blackpool South, big change. Today Reform are 4/5 to poll over 10.5%. Evens to poll 10.5% or less. The punters dilemma. When you think you're right, you don't put enough on. When you're wrong, you curse the wasted money. In other news Tories were as wide as 13/8 (back in Feb) to lose 200+ seats in the GE. Bets odds now are 1/2. For the Tories, I think I'll quote Jim Morrison. "This is the end, beautiful friend, the end".
