Lib Dem plans for Britain to build own nuke missiles is a disaster. Costs alone means hundreds of billions in cuts to public services & climate action. Real independence from US means ending war drive, respecting int law, scrapping nukes & leaving NATO. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Given this week’s news about a conflict between Anthropic & Pentagon over using Claude in all kinds of military operations, this highlights how important it is to get a new treaty on autonomous weapons because we cannot rely on companies doing the right thing. www.newscientist.com/article/2516...

🧵4 years ago, on 24 February 2022, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. For Ukrainians, this week marks the start of a fifth year of war – of loss, displacement and destruction that words can barely describe. Read more here: www.icanw.org/four_years_o... #NuclearBan
