CND general secretary Kate Hudson reminded the government yesterday that a fair pay rise for workers could easily be delivered by cutting the millions splashed on unusable nuclear weapons.
The anti-nuclear weapons campaigners launched their general election campaign drive to stop Trident’s renewal in 2016 at their annual conference in London yesterday.
And Ms Hudson led a large contingent of peace campaigners at Saturday’s Britain Needs a Pay Rise rally, calling on politicians to prioritise the “NHS not Trident.”
The nuclear programme is under evaluation and a decision on whether to renew it is set to be taken in 2016.
Ms Hudson told the Morning Star: “We’re here today to send a very strong message that spending on Trident is not what our government should be doing.
“The government is planning to spend over £100 million on replacing Britain’s nuclear weapons system. At the same time it’s saying there is no money for hospitals, no money for schools, no money for investment in jobs.”
