βScores of billions of pounds extra can be found for more nuclear weapons, to assist Israelβs genocidal destruction of the Palestinian people and to prolong the barbaric war in Ukraineβ, he accused, βwhile Labour uses its 160-plus majority in the House of Commons to deny relative petty cash to pensioners, poor families and people with disabilitiesβ.
