It’s understood Boris will announce the merger of DfID and the Foreign Office as part of the review…

UPDATE: Boris’s plans get the thumbs down from David Cameron in his first major policy intervention since leaving office. DfID was one of his proudest legacies…

More could and should be done to co-ordinate aid and foreign policy, including through the National Security Council, but the end of @DFID_UK will mean less expertise, less voice for development at the top table and ultimately less respect for the UK overseas. 2/2
