David Cameron; Scrap foreign aid and spend the money on British flood defenses.
Foreign aid spending is currently at £12 Billion per year and will rise to £16 Billion per year by 2020.
As a comparison, this is half of the UK government housing budget for 2015 (£25bn).
This will increase national debt by at least £125bn by the next election.
- A large proportion of the aid goes to nations with a space agency
