    The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has just confirmed £ billions in welfare cuts in the #springbudget, while announcing a £2.2 billion increase in military spending. The money is out there – and if the UK government taxed the wealth of the super-rich, there would be plenty.

    Great news that none of the #Stansted15 will be jailed for standing up for human rights. It’s important we defend the right to protest - it’s protest that delivered all of the rights that today we take for granted 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
