As Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie mourns the death of her son, when will child survival become a political priority?

Listen to @adrianlovett, Executive Director of @ONEintheUK, telling @TimesRadio that the Government must stop using money from the international aid budget to house asylum seekers here in the UK

[Context News @ContextNewsroom]

The UK plans to cut foreign aid spending by £6 billion. It could result in the deaths of 600,000 people, according to a study by the @ONECampaign.

UK aid cut by 40%. US cuts even deeper.

ODA is under fire.

In @devex I argue it must be:
🔹 Reimagined for a new era
🔹 Grounded in solidarity, not charity
🔹 Part of a bigger shift in global cooperation

The prime minister says the right things about fighting HIV/AIDS – but these cuts make his words sound hollow.

This is what a race to the bottom looks like.

First the US slashes aid, then the UK follows with a 40% cut.

Now a senior German leader has used Keir Starmer's decision as reason to cut German aid.

Labour's aid cuts are inspiring others to slash their budgets.

@HLTCO Certainly unusual but I think he is just unusually honest. Comes across that way here: https://t.co/2HmtcsHgK5

I think he'll return to Spurs but some time after the WC.

[Adrian Lovett @adrianlovett]

New minister @JennyChapman says:

• New FCDO approvals are frozen
• No assurance existing commitments will be honoured
• No guarantee to keep aid at 0.5% GNI through 2026
• No sign yet of a way to cut aid by 40% without serious damage.

Rethink.

.@Elonmusk LOSES his BS #FreeSpeech case against @CCDHate. Federal judge says @X is trying to “chill” political speech it doesn’t like. Shocked!

[Sara Fischer @sarafischer]

The @CCDHate says it won dismissal of all counts in a SLAPP suit brought by @elonmusk and @X (formerly Twitter)
— Reminder: X sued CCDH last year arguing it made "false" claims for a report that found hate speech surging on X after Musk takeover
