We can. We’ve just chosen to spend billions on tax cuts that (as always) disproportionately help the upper echelons of wealth in this country.
We could easily fund all of this by simply having a fair tax system. We choose not to.

Our contribution has mostly been assisting in military training, humanitarian aid and giving them some ageing equipment. Last I checked our per capita contribution to Ukraine was lower than even Russian allies like China. We can and should do more.
I agree we should be supporting the Palestinians, but these two stances aren’t mutually exclusive.
We have more than enough to look after our own people AND support democracies fighting for their freedom.
Defending a democracy being invaded by their autocratic neighbour is something I fully support. We should be doing everything in our (limited) power to help.
The issues you've raised are important, but the fix for that isn't abandoning Ukraine, it's a fair and balanced tax system.

Gunning for those Men's Rights votes.
Also they never sold it in many countries.
Not only do they cost more, the greater surface area means your cold drink warms up faster.
Neat.
All the more reason Ukraine needs our support.
This is helping a democracy resist foreign conquest, not some arbitrary ‘war on terror’.
