Keir Starmer pressed not to slash UK contribution to global aid fund

The article discusses the pressure on Keir Starmer, the leader of the UK's opposition party, to maintain or increase the country's contribution to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. According to the article, a recent poll found that 62% of Britons believe the government should maintain or increase its support for the Global Fund, which provides £1 billion in funding for vaccines and other initiatives. The prime minister must decide this year whether to maintain the UK's contribution at £1 billion or implement a cut, with a rumored reduction of 20% being considered. The article suggests that there is growing pressure on Starmer not to slash the UK's contribution to this important global health fund.
