Dear Editor,

While the MOD tries to claw back some of the overseas ‘aid’ money which is supposed to ‘tackle poverty’, poverty is rising, abroad and in the UK. (‘Ministry of Defence campaigns for overseas aid to pay for military patrols’, 1 May 2013)

On 1 May, International Workers Day, a network of organisations, campaigns and individuals came together in the House of Commons to defend the welfare state, and demand a living wage for mothers and other carers.
