        Smoke and mirrors bbc, is this to help the Government deflect the Carillion debacle away from those who should be sacked in the Commons and in Government? Contracts were given to Carillion even tho Ministers knew they were failing?

        You are correct in every thing you said. What other company would be allowed to accrue nearly a billion pounds in debt and no one challenge why. The banks took is for a ride the same way whilst still paying massive bonuses. Crooked government and ministers

        If that happens that would be a good development in Nigeria’s case. Do you know the Nigeria President “earn” more than British PM and @POTUS ? Do you know Nigerian Senators “earn” more than British MPs & American senators? Do have know @NGRPresident has up to 5 private jets?

        *Do you know @NGRPresident has up to 5 private jets?* Last year,@MBuhari parked one of those jets at Stansted Airport for more than 100 days whilst he enjoys health tourism in London. I wonder how many private jets @theresa_may has access to. Stop lining corrupt politicians bags!

        Charity I'm afraid should begin at home especially when our own people are suffering and the NHS is in the state it's in.

        Not before time. Pouring £Billions into regimes who steal & squander British taxpayers monies with very few checks and balances. We are seen as foolish, not benevolent.

        Immigrants and foreigners should have medical insurance to cover their costs it's unfair that the British tax payer has to foot the bill.

        #Foreign Aid - including to countries we « sell » weapons to? And those we import from at unreasonably low prices forcing people into poverty in order to fill our shopping malls and supermarkets? Get real. Cut foreign aid pay fair prices.
