New campaign within UK Labour Party to oppose military spending increase

Yesterday, Labour CND launched a campaign to encourage UK Labour party members to engage with the party’s front bench over their support for recent UK military spending increases.

Regarding the £24bn increase announced in November the campaign page states “We think this is unacceptable. Labour’s front bench got it wrong when Keir Starmer backed Boris Johnson. If you agree, please join our online lobby today. Tell Labour leader Keir Starmer, Shadow Defence Secretary John Healey, and Shadow Foreign Secretary Lisa Nandy what you think.”
