US EditionAnti-Austerity Demonstration Sees Thousands Protest Labour Spending Cuts in London
- On June 7, 2025, thousands of people took to the streets of central London to demonstrate against reductions in public services and changes to welfare policies, in an event organized by the People’s Assembly.
- The march arose from criticism of fiscal policies that cut public support services while increasing defense spending under Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government.
- Protesters chanted slogans like 'Tax the Rich' and 'Welfare Not Warfare' and condemned cuts to welfare, underfunded public services, and rising militarization affirmed by a new Strategic Defense Review.
- The Strategic Defense Review commits to raise military spending to 3% of GDP and expand warplane, missile, and submarine production, while £350 million from a £4.5 billion package funds drone deliveries to Ukraine.
- The demonstration highlighted tensions between austerity in public welfare and rising defense budgets, suggesting public discontent with fiscal choices prioritizing militarization over vulnerable populations.
