British trade unionists, in a very significant vote, have backed a motion overturning previous support for the government’s military spending hikes. The #WagesNotWeapons motion was proposed by the UCU union, and supported by unions including the RMT, NEU, CWU, FBU, and PCS. It was passed at Tuesday's #TUC Congress by 2,871,000 votes to 2,291,000.

It tells the #Starmer government to change direction away from its war drive, to take a new approach that prioritises real common and human security.

💸This week the government announced £9 billion of new money for Britain's nuclear weapons.

❌That's £9 billion that isn't going to the #NHS, schools, proper wages, or tackling the #ClimateCrisis.

🤔 Where's the scrutiny? #WagesNotWeapons

A week ago, the PM was announcing a below-inflation pay rise for public sector workers, insisting it was their best and final offer. Now, the Def Sec is finding billions of pounds of new money for nuclear weapons seemingly without any pushback.

They say there’s no magic money tree to fix the NHS, our schools, or the planet, but there always seem to be billions more pounds for weapons of mass destruction that can destroy us all. #WagesNotWeapons #NursesNotNukes

We’re asking our supporters to tell Jeremy Hunt what they’d rather see the £billions earmarked for nuclear weapons spent on instead. #NursesNotNukes #WagesNotWeapons
