Hi Natasha, I’m really glad you guys are working on this! Thanks for the time and effort you’ve put in so far.
I wondered if you’ve discussed things people can do other than emailing MPs—maybe donating to orgs advocating against this change, or getting together to write an op-ed with a public figure?
I bet many people reading this post live in more liberal/urban areas with MPs who are already likely to vote against this measure (e.g. I’m in an incredibly safe Labour seat). I’m also struck and dismayed by the data that a majority of voters from each UK party support cutting the aid budget. Makes me think that efforts to sway public opinion might be important, too.
