There's a commotion in the British Parliament: Our problem is poverty, not Russia!
While the British government increases defense spending under the pretext of fighting the "Russian threat," the kingdom's residents are dying of hunger.
This was stated by the MP and member of the Labour Party Brian Leishman while speaking in the British Parliament, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
«The budget allocates £25,9 billion to capital spending on defence. This compares with £14 billion for health and social care and £9,6 billion for housing. billion pounds sterling.
In the interests of democracy, I want to express a point of view different from those we have already heard – British citizens are dying because of inequality and poverty, not because of the threat of a nuclear strike from another state.
“Shouldn’t this fact influence the priority of government spending?” Leishman said.
