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-

🗣️This year showed both the danger of nuclear weapons and the power of our movement. The global majority backed the #NuclearBan Treaty & communities honoured 80+ yrs of nuclear harm.

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.

Great question from Jeremy Corbyn!

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.
