SO, Theresa May refuses to commit herself in advance of a manifesto to maintaining the aid budget at 0.7 per cent.
Little England it is then. Any lingering doubt about the humanitarian credentials of this government becomes certainty.
May sees our future as divorced from concerns for the wider world, for the poor of the planet.
Let us frack; let us pollute; let us reinforce social divisions; let us boost the haves by privatisation of health, education, transport etc, at the expense of course of the have nots. Sauve qui peut.
What an appalling government.
