£50 million to a terrorist while old age pensioners freeze to death you couldn’t make this up unbelievable.

[johncrawford]

This money should be used in the UK not abroad

[elainewright]

British taxpayers money should be spent in uk

[ursulagrenter]

Not sure the tax payer would agree that our money should be sent to Syria, I would rather we send them their "refugees" back not £50 million,

[MrWannabeartist]

Ask the people Do you want Syria to thrive. NO! We need Britain to thrive, it's in a mess. Put Britain first, and no more payments to foreigners, specially illegal migrants.

[TheCrimsonAvenger]

Lammy merely reflects the decline in quality of our politicians.
We deserve better than this.

[paddyveteran]

Our pensioners are behind syrians in the queue now???

[dreddykrugernew]

A £50m package to a man who is wanted by the US government and has a $10m dollar bounty on his head from the US government, we are talking about the same person arent we...

[joblogs]

I don't care about what happens in Syria.

[TalkUK]

What a scandal. Sending money to foreign people while allowing British pensioners to die of cold and destroy farmers. We can't get a decent appointment with a doctor yet we throw money at foreigners.

[zoltan-zqxe]

What a waste of money sickening, when are we going to have a normal government.

[coldbreeze]

There's always money for others but never for our country and its people

[ChrisArmstrong]

This is outrageous, take care of Britain for the British first and only!!!

[chantellelowe]

Yes its our money taken through taxes the money should be spent in this

[DavesGarden]

This money should be used to help our own vulnerable people and pensioners

[JackFirebrace]

The NHS is always in crisis due to bad management and waste.

[timmytimkins]

Give them nothing! We have most of them living here in luxury hotels!

[TheauditorGB]

Laundered right back into off shore bank accounts no doubt!

[susanparkauntiesuze]

I would like to bet that none of the Christians in Syria will see any of this.

[stukavonferno]

This black blob is an absolute Jeremy Hunt!
