MORE than 80 progressive leaders have signed a Dignity Declaration, warning that “some lives matter more than others” under this Labour government.
Calling for an alternative to “enrichment of the few at the expense of the many,” the letter comes in response to Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Spring Statement, which included a £2.2 billion increase in defence spending and further cuts to welfare.
Signatories include MPs Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Apsana Begum and Carla Denyer, alongside trade union leaders UCU general secretary Jo Grady, BFAWU national president Ian Hodson and National Education Union president Sarah Kilpatrick.
