Rejected petition Cancel the 2022 Festival of Britain in favour of spending the funds on NHS pay

Cancel the planned “Brexit” Festival of Britain in order to free up 120m for public sector and NHS pay rises

More details

After 2 years of being in a global pandemic and suffering the results of a hard Brexit this isn’t the time to spend public funds on a festival celebrating severe damage to our economy. Spend the money where it smells a difference to people who aren’t in the top 10% earners, please.
