Boris Johnson responds to criticism by accusing Labour leader of prioritising Arab country over UK
Boris Johnson has been accused of an “unconscionable” decision of cutting aid to war-ravaged Yemen, at a bad-tempered PMQs in which the prime minister accused Keir Starmer of prioritising the Arab country over the UK.
The UK has announced it will give Yemen only around £87m in aid this year, down from £164m in 2020. The Labour leader said there was widespread outrage at the decision to cut the aid.
