Sir John Major today became the latest former Tory prime minister to slam Boris Johnson over plans to cut the UK's foreign aid budget.
The 90s leader said that proposals to cut the proportion of UK spending on projects overseas due to the pandemic were not 'morally defensible'.
He spoke out again publicly on the matter after Theresa may yesterday joined the chorus of Tory parliamentary grandees threatening to defeat the Government over its proposed cut.
She is among 30 Conservative who support a move to force the Government to backtrack on plans to cut spending from 0.7 per cent of national income to 0.5 per cent.
