The government is pushing through massive increases in ‘defence’ spending. While the government fails to act over the climate crisis, it plans to spend 3.5% of national income by 2035 on the military, an increase of £35 billion per year. It is expected to fund this by cutting public services, social security and pensions. We believe this must stop.
Last month the government began recruitment for their pilot, military ‘gap year’ programme. This is a precursor to what they’re planning next – the reintroduction of conscription.
