Ruth Davidson has warned Boris Johnson he risks taking the Tories back to being seen as the ‘nasty party’ unless he reverses cuts to foreign aid spending.
The former leader of the Scottish Conservatives said it was ‘clear’ that MPs and peers do not support cutting £4billion from the overseas development budget this year.
She urged the Prime Minister to hold a vote in Parliament before the summer on the change, which is a breach of the party’s 2019 general election manifesto.
‘It really does risk us being transported back to being thought of as the “nasty party” in people’s minds once again,’ she said.
