HOMELESSNESS could be eradicated with just 5 per cent of the budget allocated to renewing Trident, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) said today.
The organisation responded to the Budget by highlighting the “upside-down” priorities of the government, which continues lavish spending on weapons while “people die in the streets.”
It instead called for a people’s Budget which would scrap the government’s £205 billion renewal of the country’s nuclear weapons programme and instead spend the money on eradicating homelessness.
