Reeves accused of putting tin-foil hat on over defence spending
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves holds a press conference at the Downing Street Briefing Room in London, after she delivered her spring statement to MPs at the House of Commons, March 26, 2025
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
CHANCELLOR Rachel Reeves was accused of donning her tin foil hat today to announce the government’s intention to make Britain a “defence-industrial superpower.”
Communist Party of Britain general secretary Robert Griffiths said the Spring Statement confirms Labour’s aim to be the war-mongering party of the military-industrial complex.
Ms Reeves confirmed that spending plans to assist the unemployed, poor and disabled will be chopped by almost £5 billion, while military spending next year will rise by an extra £2.2bn.
