"We spend £1.25 billion per week on foreign aid"
Do you have a source for this figure?
UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) spend was £15,197 million in 2019 according to https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/statistics-on-international-development-final-uk-aid-spend-2019/statistics-on-international-development-final-uk-aid-spend-2019
(which is less than £0.3 billion per week). Can you clarify this please?

The figure for foreign aid should read £1.25 billion per month, so add that to the total cost of immigration.
And that figure is set to keep rising after a shortfall in 2021, so the more GDP the greater the increase, but one must remember GDP does not mean an equal increase in personal wealth.
That £350million is dwarfed by our total immigration bill. Every legal and illegal immigrant adds to it.
Today there is even an immigrant moaning about her child allowance for 5 children.
One other little lie the establishment used to use was to count the head of a family as the immigrant, so wife and children did not show in numbers, so the real number here is not known.
Inflation !
I bought a bottle of head & shoulder today and it cost me an arm and leg .

We spend £1.25 billion per week on foreign aid. do some research and see how much the total immigrant bill is for this country, including the cost of security.
It runs into billions and billions and billions, dare look.
No government has had the nerve to tell us the true figures and to dig them out is not made easy.
Actually Mvarawa, you are poorer.
We all are from a simple standpoint only, the GBP has fallen. Therefore, your spending power around the world is less. And even if you stay in the UK, anything you buy that is imported is more expensive (and we all but something that is imported).
Then there is reduced GDP, which in turn leads to higher taxes on the economy to raise the required amount of tax. So we are all paying some more tax because of Brexit, whether you can measure it accurately or not.
Then there is the increased administration that UK firms are now facing because of the increased admin of being a 3rd country. Those costs are passed onto all of us.
And this is just on a very general level, without getting into specifics of the 2/3 of SMEs that used to trade with the EU but have now given up because it is uneconomic.
So when you say "I am not poorer and I have not met anyone who is poorer through leaving the EU" I would contend that you are quite wrong, even if you don't feel it.
The money is supporting migrants dopey
"Boris may have his faults but HE pushed Brexit through."
That's like commending the captain of the Titanic for missing every other iceberg in the sea.
And while the majority voted for Brexit, they didn't vote on any specific exit plan because there was none. They certainly didn't vote for the UK to break international law and unilaterally renage on agreements.
I believe they voted for £350million a week for the NHS. Where is that money exactly?
DC resigned as a result of losing the vote

''He waited to see how public opinion was and what stance would best suit his career aspirations before announcing he was supporting the leave campaign.''
As I said - total ballox.
The odds of leaving were always an outside chance.
I got 20/1 leave as the polls were closing .

Boris was not one of the outspoken Tory Euro Sceptics that tore the Tory party inside out and divided it over Brexit in the years previous to the Tories putting it in their 2015 election manifesto they would hold a referendum on Brexit before 2017 if they won the election. Boris kept his cards close to his chest with Brexit when it was announced there was to be a referendum. He waited to see how public opinion was and what stance would best suit his career aspirations before announcing he was supporting the leave campaign.
Aside from that I agree with the points you have made. It was scandalous the way MP's from ALL sides of the house tried to derail Brexit and overturn the mandate given to parliament by the voting public to leave.
Hardup,
Boris may have his faults but HE pushed Brexit through.
Despite these politicians being voted in by the electorate they did NOT want to carry out what the MAJORITY of people had voted for.
Probably upset that they were no longer destined to have a few years with their noses in that particular trough!
Shame on them.
Now that was funny , done me good and proper . X
"I got so much money i can't add it all up"
That's why the aliens didn't keep you when they kidnapped you.......they were looking for signs of intelligent life.

No requests. Gutless Doris only done half a job .
Woah there Minnie, don't you be coming in here with links to studies by actual professional anaylists. Facts have a well known liberal bias after all.
lawyers leave holes so they get another more expensive dip in the pot

Boris's main objective with Brexit was to further his career.

'' whose members actually include the PM ''
weird statement
machiismo.
I am not poorer and I have not met anyone who is poorer through leaving the EU. Lord Heseltine is missing his CAP payments from the EU. But he can open his arboretum up a little more, he only charges £16 per head to walk around his garden, go give it a go he needs the money.
minnieinthemouse
And at his moment how is and how are the people in the EU doing?.
The only real thing that has held back Brexit is the remoaner establishment whose members actually include the PM and other cabinet ministers. Take the removal to Rwanda of illegal immigrants, always looking to close the last loophole, instead of making sure there are no loopholes for the lawyers etc to crawl through, same with the NI protocol.
''On 16 June 2020, the European Commission raised the status of The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) from “associate partner” to “full member” of CIVICA - The European University of Social Sciences.''
Doris is a great comedian I just can't stop laughing every time I see him reminds me of the great Tommy cooper, if it wasn't so serious, though he will have us all in tears ,before he is carried off by men in white coats,bring on the clowns the show is nearly over dyor have a great day lloyd keeps rolling along.
