The Tories will undertake to make even more cuts to the budget for foreign aid, while the party tries to regain its reputation for tax liability following the mini-budget of the farm.
Chancellor Sir Mel Stride will unveil development aid reduction plans abroad to 0.1% of gross national income (GNI), down compared to the current 0.3%, cement a maritime change in the position of the conservative party on international aid.
In his opening speech to the Party Conference in Manchester, Sir Mel will say that his plans can save 47 billion pounds sterling during the next parliament, which includes cups with well-being, the public service and the green subsidies.
In the wake of the mini-budget of the farm which saw the book down and that the interest rates soar, the senior deputy will say that his party “will never, never take tax commitments without speaking exactly how they will be paid” and will engage in tax responsibility.
A key element of Sir Mel’s plans to demonstrate that this consists in reducing foreign aid to 0.1% of the GNI, or about 3 billion pounds sterling per year – against spending of approximately 9.4 billion pounds sterling in 2028-2029.
The Boris Johnson government Reduction of assistance expenditure at 0.5% of the GNI in 2021, in order to pay the vast public expenses during the pandemic. Sir Keir Starmer announced a new cup at 0.3% of the GNI earlier this year to pay the increase in defense expenses.
Bond, the network for organizations working in international development and humanitarian assistance, ended the announcement, describing it as “reckless, short -sighted and morally indefensible”.
Its managing director, Romilly Greenhill, told the conservatives at a marginal event at the conservative conference on Sunday: “Let’s be really clear, such a policy would have a negative impact on millions of people around the world.
“It would harm the deeply vital programs by reducing, eradicating killers, and it would also seriously undermine our ability to respond to devastating global crises.”

Is it important that foreign aid was cut in the United Kingdom?
But the Conservatives say that they “cannot justify taxing the people of this country to pay billions of expenses abroad”, and this marks the Maltel for the death of the former Tory The objective of Prime Minister David Cameron to spend 0.7% of GNI in the aid, announced in 2011.
Well-being, green subsidies and asylum hotels to cope with the chop
Another key area where Sir Mel will undertake to save money will be the social protection system, where they say that 23 billion pounds sterling can be cut.
He will say that the narrowing of the eligibility for disease services, the cessation of complaints of people with “low -level mental health problems” which could be processed instead, limiting the subsidy of VAT for the engine and reforming job search obligations are key areas where savings can be made.
But a major change will be to restrict the well -being of British citizens – bringing a conservative party policy in accordance with Reform UK.
But he promises to reverse any decision of the current Labor Government to raise the performance ceiling to two children, which contrasts with the party of Nigel Farage which wants to raise it.
Sir Mel should say that reforms are essential not only to balance books, but to combat deeper damage caused by long -term dependence.

Conservatives would leave the European Convention on Human Rights
Another key target of the Chancellor of the Shadow is the public service, where he will affirm that 8 billion pounds sterling of savings can be carried out by reducing the workforce by 517,000 to levels of 384,000.
The abolition of the law on climate change and “expensive and ineffective green subsidies are pushed by Ed Miliband” is also on the agenda of Sir Mel. Conservatives say that there are 1.6 billion pounds sterling per year in this area.
And the closure of all asylum hotels will save at least 3.5 billion pounds sterling, according to the Conservatives – at least 1.6 billion sterling pounds which they have already allocated to their new “Ice style” strength “To hold and remove 150,000 illegal migrants per year.
In his speech, Sir Mel Stride MP should say: “The conservative party will never take tax commitments without spelling exactly how they will be paid.
“We are the only part that gets it. The only party that will defend tax responsibility. We have to reach public spending.
“We cannot deliver stability unless we live in our means. No more pretension that we can continue to spend money that we simply do not have. ”

“Trussomie is still booming”
But the president of the Labor Party, Anna Turley, said: “The Tories leave the social protection bills, the civil service numbers and the asylum hotel soaring on their watch – and they never apologized. Now they want to reshape the failed promises of their failed manifesto to try to solve the problems they have caused.
“It is the same old conservatives, with the same former policies. They did not work then and you cannot trust them now.”
And the spokesperson for the Liberal Democratic Treasury, Daisy Cooper, said that it was “clear that the Conservative Party is absolutely nothing to do with their disastrous manipulation of the economy, which left families with a crisis in the cost of living and public services on their knees”.
She added: “Cutting vital support to lower household bills, trying to balance books on the back of people with mental health problems and reduce the soft power abroad of the United Kingdom thanks to budget cuts shows that trussonomy is always booming.”
