Eamonn Holmes has launched an attack on Labour’s foreign aid spending, insisting British taxpayers cannot afford it as the GB News star reflected on his own health issues.

During this morning’s instalment of GB News, host Eamonn Holmes was left fuming over Foreign Secretary David Lammy pledging a £94.5million support package to the Syr1an Government.

Eamonn shared: “This makes me quite angry. Why give £100million to Syr1a? We could sit and have an argument about it and whatever. The point is, the country can’t afford it. We can’t afford it, the taxpayer can’t afford it. So what the heck are we doing it for?”

The former This Morning star, whose health has been declining in recent years, then highlighted his financial concerns about ageing.

He told viewers, “It’s funny how people always make out that the older you are, the richer you are and that you have no financial worries. And yet, as you get older, you worry more about money.

“You worry about whether you will be able to afford care, whether you will be able to afford a care home, or whether you will be able to afford just being looked after in general. And there are demands on whatever money you have.”

He continued making a point by concluding that funding for cnc3r care, hospitals and h0spices is “also broken”.

Eamonn remarked: “Another thing that annoys me is that you look at cnc3r care centres, h0spices and whatever, and a massive proportion of what they do they have to fund themselves.

“Why the heck would a h0spice have to fund itself? I think it’s absolutely scandalous, ridiculous. The whole care situation is broken.”

Eamonn needs to use a wheelchair at times and has difficulty with his mobility, which is primarily related to chronic back pain. The issues started in 2021 when he slipped three discs and underwent spinal surgery.
