🚨🧵 SHOCKING SPEND CONTINUES: UK Funding The Communist Regime 🇬🇧🇨🇳💷

1/ Despite China being the world's second-largest economy, Britain has been pouring millions into its economy. Yes, you heard that right, we're funding one of the biggest haters of our way of life, the CCP.

2/ In 2023 alone, £48 million was sent to China for what? Environmental projects? Education? While our schools crumble and hospitals are underfunded? This isn't charity; it's madness.

Remember, we can't even fund our pensioners through winter or keep our military afloat.

3/ From 2011 to 2021, the UK handed over an eye-watering £400 million in aid to China. That's right, while we were cutting services back home, we continued giving cash to a country richer than us, which commits atrocities, including persecution & ethnic cleansing operations.

4/ The British Council, one of the primary channels for this aid, spent £5.8 million in 2023/24 on projects like English teaching & cultural programs. Meanwhile, our own cultural heritage sites barely get a look in, unless it's to whack a rainbow on a National Trust gift shop.

5/ Even as China ramps up its military spending by 7% this year, we're still sending them aid. Why are we subsidizing the Chinese Communist Party with our hard-earned cash? Meanwhile, we wouldn't even last 2 weeks in a defensive ground war with our own munitions supply.

6/ It's not just about the money; it's about transparency. The UK government promised to cut aid by 95%, yet multiple unanswered claims estimate we're still shoveling millions into China. Where's the accountability?

What do our friends in the US think about this madness?

7/ Sinply put, foreign aid should be limited to disaster relief, not propping up Communist economies like China's.

Not that Labour care. That's what they want.

It's time for a reevaluation of how we spend our aid budget.

Britain is broken, Britain needs reform.
