The UKIP 2015 Manifesto which is the last one for Farage, did not say it would get rid of overseas aid and overall it's not a bad manifesto - some bits in there for both left and right.
It was well received, with the main criticism of UKIP not being about their manifesto, but whether among their marry band of space cadets, they had anyone credible who could deliver on it.
That could be levelled at Tory, Labour and LibDem though based on recent evidence
The 2015 UKIP manifesto said it would reduce the Overseas Aid budget.
Currently we work to spend 0.7% of GDP on foreign aid and that aid has to be delivered in a way that meets the international definition as that is what we have legally committed to.
I think we are the only major country doing this.
That creates a problem. The efforts to help the Caribbean following hurricane Irma in 2017 did not qualify.
If we haven't spent the money each year, we have to distribute what is left to such entities as The World Bank, UNICEF.... hence there is a tendency to spend on schemes that aren't well thought out.
It's akin to the bonkers policy that we see when Local Authorities go out and spend their budget every March before the end of year.
Whether you agree with the policy to reduce the budget or not, the current situation is a poorly thought out one and it should be reviewed and improved.
