If the rumours are true today’s proposal to merge
@DFID_UK &@foreignoffice will have a huge impact on the world’s most vulnerable communities. It will be disastrous and distracting for our COVID-19 response where a global approach based on expertise is critical.#saveDFID -

You would have thought today’s major decision to merge
@DFID_UK@foreignoffice would have consulted the NGOs working on the ground. It did not. If we had been we would’ve stressed the risks of turning our backs on the world’s poorest people at a time of great crisis#SaveDFIDShow this thread -

We're proud to join
@bondngo in calling for DFID to remain separate from the FCO.#UKAid must continue to support people living in poverty - especially the most marginalised individuals, communities, and groups.#AidWorks#SaveDFID https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-foreign-aid-tory-uk-government-dfid-conservative-a9249271.html … -
The PM claimed that there had been a "massive consultation" before the decision was taken to merge DFID into the Foreign Office. It is now clear that there was no consultation with NGOs or third sector bodies as confirmed by SoS yesterday.

Beautiful flowers were left outside
@dfid_uk to commemorate the end of DfID as it's own department. This building is full of such amazing people who are always working hard to achieve the best they can for the world and I'm so proud to be a part of that

'We have two separate departments for a reason - because they are good at different things'. We really should

ACT NOW: Stop
@BorisJohnson from scrapping#DFID!#UKAid should be about alleviating poverty, not politics. We need DFID led effective & transparent overseas aid.#SaveDFID https://act.one.org/sign/save-dfid?akid=s494218..o-_bJq … -
#SaveDFID This is a devastating decision on the use of aid. According to all evidence, this will make UK aid less transparent and less effective. It's a disaster for taxpayers and for the world's poorest people -
It's a huge mistake to abolish
@DFID_UK - especially in the middle of a global pandemic when#UKAid is more important than ever. The Government is putting foreign policy interests above saving lives.#SaveDFID https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/climate-and-people/abolishing-dfid-will-harm-us-charities-warn/ … -
A DFID/FCO merger is bad politics and bad news for children. I've told Boris - will you? http://save.tc/o9AK50A9VDF

Dear
@BorisJohnson, the UK must not turn its back on the world’s poorest people, particularly at a time of global pandemic. Along with@_FOA_ I'm calling on you to#SaveAid - we must fight poverty & support those in desperate need#SaveDFID#UKAid -
An independent
@DFID_UK with Cabinet place has been central to Britain's success in fighting global poverty & has enhanced our standing on the world stage. This is why we've joined 100+ orgs in signing@bondngo letter urging@BorisJohnson to#SaveDFID https://www.bond.org.uk/press-releases/2019/12/over-100-charities-warn-that-plans-to-merge-dfid-with-fco-risks-britain … -
Merging
@DfID_UK with@FCO could have grave consequences for the world’s poorest people. An independent DFID does such outstanding work to ensure we leave no-one behind#saveDFID https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53062858 … -
This in the middle of a global pandemic, where what we need is an independent DfID firing on all cylinders

And so it begins. Another blow to people forced into poverty the world over.
