The workers, who move missiles around the depot, are paid just £20,500 a year - little more than the National Living Wage, the UK's low minimum wage.

The workers who actually assemble the weapons are paid a lot more, after getting a big increase last year - which underlines that the lowest paid "unskilled" workers are absolutely right to fight.

Their GMB union has strongly and actively supported the Ukrainian struggle against Russian imperialism. While its members are working to provide Ukraine with much-needed weapons, the Conservative government is undermining their work by its determination to keep wages down.

Together with the international trade union movement and all supporters of the Ukrainian resistance, we demand that the government put an end to the conflict by accepting the workers' demand for a decent pay rise.
