International Development minister quits over aid cuts

International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds has resigned over the prime minister's cuts to the aid budget.

Earlier this week, Sir Keir Starmer announced funding would be reduced from 0.5% of gross national income to 0.3% in 2027 in order to fund an increase in defence spending.

Defending the move, the prime minister said it was "not a decision I wanted to make" but added there was "no driver of migration and poverty like conflict".
