Ordinarily we connect charities and voluntary sector organisations with our skilled volunteers, however on this occasion we have a fabulous paid job for someone wanting a really different type of role, working with dogs.

We should be gradually returning to our 0.7 per cent commitment on aid and the genuine international leadership that gave us – not leaving it until 2024, says Andrew Mitchell

[Alison Stiby-Harris @AliStibyHarris]

The same newspapers aghast at the situation in Afghanistan frequently called for the aid budget to be cut, and guess what it was; aid to Afghanistan was cut by 78%. You can’t support a country through military intervention or aid alone. We have deserted them.

"... is estimated at £37.5m for 2021/22, down from £167.5m last year – a cut of 78 per cent." https://t.co/uRGAljPg2R

"...will have devastating consequences for the world’s poor and vulnerable that will last far longer than the cuts themselves.
In simple terms, it is equivalent to a £4 billion..."

“Time will tell how long the aid cuts will persist, but the damage they cause will be permanent,” says @Pauline_Latham MP

@lauriejlee @HouseofCommons @ippf @BBCJLandale More bad than good because of the cuts, it would be better and more reasonable to keep the 0.7%

[Laurie Lee @lauriejlee]

UK Gov has had plenty of warnings and opportunities to act lawfully on international aid. The Foreign Secretary told @HouseofCommons on 26 Nov that he would be legally challenged if he didn’t propose new legislation. He was right. @ippf is going to court @BBCJLandale reports

[Witkor @Witkor19]

@BBCPolitics It's great to see that more people realise and agree that this is the right thing to do, and are hoping that the aid cuts will revert back to 0.7%.

[BBC Politics @BBCPolitics]

"We've got a lot of support because people want the government to stand by the manifesto commitment"

Andrew Mitchell MP is among Tory rebels voting against the government on aid cuts- if they win, spending will revert to 0.7% of national income by January

I have seen first hand the power of UK Development. The 0.7% not only protects us at home, it also helps millions abroad.

I will be voting against the Govt this afternoon. Returning the 0.7% is as much about Global Britain as trade, defence and diplomacy.

They have inspired us, played their part in taking us to the final and stepped up when their country needed them most. They deserve our admiration not hate. We proudly stand with these brave lions.

This is a vote on the definition of GLOBAL BRITAIN…

our place, role and reputation in the world.

With threats increasing let’s have the political courage to invest in our soft power and lead.

[Jyoti @jyotichauhan_]

This is such an important vote and what happens today will impact so many vulnerable communities. The government need to decide to return #UKAid to 0.7% to ensure we’re able to support as many people as we can.
