Tony Blair urges UK to use international aid cash to boost global Covid-19 vaccination effort


Britain should repurpose its aid funding to countries to help them combat Covid-19, Tony Blair urged today. The former prime minister stressed that the UK should be “doing everything we can” to boost coronavirus jab roll-outs around the world. In an interview with Evening Standard editor Emily Sheffield, he was asked if aid budgets should be repackaged for the next year or so to help vaccinate people. “Absolutely, we should be doing everything we can to help countries,” he said. He stressed that he was “never in favour of cutting” Britain’s aid budget from 0.7 per cent of national income to 0.5, adding: “We have a massive interest in the world getting vaccinated.”
