'Defence Investment Plan risks us all' - CND General Secretary, Sophie Bolt, responds to Starmer's final preparation for war: https://cnduk.org/time-for-a-new-direction/
Increased military spending at the expense of cuts to vital public services actually produces a net reduction in job creation. In reality, this war drive risks the lives of millions of people and will devastate the living standards of those in Britain and across the world.
Andrea Egan UNISON General Secretary@andreaegangs.bsky.social · last mo.Yesterday, the government announced spending cuts to vital public services as part of the Defence Investment Plan. This is costly and wasteful: every extra pound spent on defence is money taken away from schools and hospitals. Let’s invest in people, not more war abroad.
