In the midst of the Covid crisis and a time when most of us are facing an uncertain future, Prime Minister Boris Johnson proposes to increase military spending by £16 billion over the next 4 years. At a time when Covid19 should be the government&#x27;s top priority, spending on grandiose projects including space wars won&#x27;t provide security for the majority. We&#x27;l be discussing why the Labour Party leadership should speak out against this increase.About our speakers:The former leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn is a long-time peace campaigner, a Vice President of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and a former Chair of Stop the War Coalition.
