Furious Tory MPs today accused Boris Johnson of slashing aid to curry favour with Red Wall - as the PM defied Speaker Lindsay Hoyle's call for the Commons to take the final decision. 'It's not proper and it's fundamentally un-British and we shouldn't behave in this way,' Mr Mitchell said. 'It's about the Red Wall seats. The Government thinks that it's popular in the Red Wall seats to stop British aid, money going overseas. It's also a very patronising attitude to people who live in the Red Wall seats.'
