There are issues with how money is spent on foreign aid, but none of those are solved by 40% haircuts. I’m in favour of increasing military spending. More deficit spending (tricky after the Truss mini budget) or raising revenues seems a better way fwd.Why are we not raising the digital services tax?

Lib Dems are pushing to increase defence spending to 3%, but they oppose Labour, Conservative and Reform plans to raise the cash by cutting foreign aid.
Instead LD leader Ed Davey proposes an increase in the Digital Services Tax on social media firms and other tech giants.
