Starmer's push to a war economy

Starmer says the UK ’needed to go faster’ on increasing military spending. He wants the defence budget to reach 3% of GDP during the lifetime of this parliament, costing us an additional £15bn over the next five years. 

Rachel Reeves will have to choose between imposing massive cuts to public spending or millions of us paying higher taxes. This is part of a European rearmament drive aimed at appeasing Trump, justified by propagandising about the threat of a Europe wide war.

To counter this push towards militarism we need to build our Welfare not Warfare, Wages not Weapons campaign. But to so so we need you! The more we are the stronger we become. Please help by joining our movement today.

Money is being diverted from education, healthcare, pensions and housing to pay for bullets, tanks, guns and fighter jets. A climate is being created in which global conflict is more likely and war with Russia a real possibility, a war where nuclear weapons could be used with catastrophic consequences. 

Never has it been more important for there to be a strong anti-war movement. Please help build the movement by joining us today.
