£4bn for the global poor: the UK's 0.7%

Abstract

The UK Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that the government will reduce the amount of spend on international development from 0.7% of GNI to 0.5%. (read more, e.g., here). This means that the government will spend £10bn on aid instead of £14bn. This post sets out an attempt to undo this decision. I’m hoping we can find more people to help with analysis and to donate to the campaign.
