PEACE activists called on the Tory government to “cut war, not wages” at nationwide protests against spiralling defence spending today.

Protesters gathered outside the Ministry of Defence (MoD) offices in Whitehall on Friday morning as staff entered the site, waving placards reading: “Nurses not nukes.”

Rallies and leafleting actions were also held in several towns across the UK as part of a nationwide day of action organised by the Peace Pledge Union.
