28:51 - "Our nuclear weapons REQUIRE us to have a good relationship with the United States" But wait, isn't that the famous "independent nuclear deterrent"? The Prime Minister makes it sound much more like a DEPENDENCY which means the UK cannot have a truly INDEPENDENT foreign policy.

Prof. Andy Stirling and Dr. Phil Johnstone have studied the relation between nuclear power and nuclear weapons in the UK. They claim the government's enormous nuclear power investments are intended to create a base of technical expertise to support the nuclear weapons programme.

In a stunning interview for the Sunday Telegraph last weekend, a former Royal Navy admiral said the Dreadnought class currently under construction should be the LAST nuclear-power submarine the UK builds, and the AUKUS deal should be cancelled immediately. Read in full: https://ow.ly/O6p450XG9Jk

Rolls Royce shares have risen over 700% in 5 years. They have been awarded multi-billion pound government contracts to make nuclear reactors for submarines, and now billions more to build small modular nuclear reactors in Wales. Its all your money. #nuclear #uranium

The former head of nuclear policy at the UK MoD, Rear Admiral Philip Mathias, calls out the “catastrophic” state of British nuclear submarine procurement & sustainment and calls for #AUKUS to be “cancelled now”. What’s your response Richard Marles? #auspol

Not only does nuclear "modernisation" creates new risks of accidents and miscalculations - it also fuels a dangerous arms race between supposed adversaries who are constantly adjusting threat-assessments of rival nuclear powers Nuclear "modernisation" is escalation #nuclearban

Remember the India-Pakistan war? Remember US and Israel bombing Iran? Remember Russian leadership bragging about nuking European capitals? Remember Trump announcing to resume nuclear testing? That was all this year. At ICAN, we wish for the opposite. A world free of nuclear weapons-

Picture it: Putin doing a press conference in a tank factory in Russia: "army 10x more lethal by 2035, I am preparing our country for war" Sounds like comic-book villain stuff right? Those are the same words our 'centre-left' Prime Minister spoke yesterday at BAE in Glasgow.

Really important intervention here from CND and expert affiliates - if its security we seek, the billions spent on arms proposed by Healey's SDR are totally MISSPENT. This government is not serious about security. Citizens now need to stand up and demand a strategy for peace, not war.

It is truly shocking just how much amount of money that can be materialised from nowhere for weapons of war - dozens of billions for submarines, nuclear warheads and maybe even US fighter jets. Meanwhile Labour quibble about how to rob a billion here and there from the pensioners and the sick.

"It is a moral disgrace to have a bank of weapons that could wipe out all life on the planet." says Ann McGuinness, @scottishgreens.org candidate for the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election. Thank you to @scottishcnd.bsky.social for organising these important hustings.

This means decades more COMPLIANCE with US foreign policy, which has led to several generational catastrophes in the 21st century (Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Gaza). These weapons contribute nothing 'defence'. All they do is compromise our sovereignty. #banthebomb #nonuclear #scotland

The UN nuclear ban treaty is becoming a serious instrument for challenging the global nuclear weapons regime... It is also the foremost forum for addressing the conceit of nuclear "deterrence" arguments argues Olamide Samuel. Full article: ow.ly/PoEA50VvzV5
