Scrap all austerity measures that breach international human rights

Petition Details

In a damning report the UN has claimed austerity policies and welfare reform breach the UK’s international human rights obligations, disproportionately affecting the poor, women, young people, ethnic minorities and disabled people and favouring the rich.

This is unacceptable
