Prohibit the government from using public money overseas without a referendum
Hold a referendum before donating any taxpayer funds for any purpose overseas, less immediate disaster relief. Restrict the power of ministers to individualy donate taxpayer funds to any country or organisation that is outside of the UK. Large projects inside the UK should also seek that approval.
The UK has a massive debt, is in decline and the tax burden on the citizens is the highest it has been since the second world war.
It is the duty of the UK government to put its citizens and the UK first.
It is irresponsible to spend taxpayer money on any overseas project without taxpayer consent.
We need to reduce the national debt and provide for UK citizens before any overseas aid is considered. So called "Soft Power" is no excuse for delaying and reducing pensions.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure if you mean overseas aid or all spending overseas.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a referendum on donations to other countries over £10m: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732586
