The Government has been accused of trying to "balance the books on the backs of the poorest" amid reports of plans to dramatically cut the UK's foreign aid budget.

Rishi Sunak is said to be eyeing the UK's legal commitment to spend 0.7% of GDP on projects in the world's poorest nations - which amounts to about £15bn a year.

The Chancellor is planning to announce his intention to hive off foreign aid cash in the Budget in November to plug the coronavirus black hole, sources told The Sun.

Treasury insiders claimed some money could be diverted to fund Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence projects, as well as investing in the charities sector.
