Adding air-launched nukes to Britain's nuclear weapons programme was made without any parliamentary debate or scrutiny. With the costs of the F-35 programme set to soar over £70 billion, we urgently need a debate on this dangerous purchase.

💸 A report from the Public Accounts Committee shows that Britain's F-35 programme is in disarray and the costings are "unrealistic."
With the budget coming up, we need much greater scrutiny on military spending hikes and nuke expansion.

We could invest in real security: good jobs, green industry, thriving communities.
