Charlie Downes has blasted the government's spending priorities, highlighting that £23 billion of taxpayers' money is spent annually on foreign-focused initiatives.
Downes argues that whilst taxation is a "necessary evil", the current administration consists of "idiots who clearly don't know how to spend our money".
Breaking down the spending, Downes pointed to £15 billion on foreign aid, £5.5 billion on housing asylum seekers, and nearly £5 billion on climate aid.
"These are areas that are obviously wasteful, obviously not in the interests of the British people," he said, arguing the government should target these for cuts before taxing ordinary citizens.
