cancellation of the International Aid budget having been one of their goals for years
Yeah, for sure, but Johnson has explicitly said aid will be kept at its current level (for what that's worth). This doesn't feel like a dead cat to me (or at least not entirely). Most people won't give a fuck, I think.
In that case, why do it now? They have no election for four and a half years, so the timing makes no sense unless they want to distract from starving children, but even then- we have to accept starving children for another four and a half years if Johnson wanted us to.
