Our public services are at breaking point. Another cost-of-living crisis is looming. Climate breakdown is destroying our planet. But on what does the government want to spend public money? Nuclear weapons and war.
Join this CND webinar to discuss how scrapping Britain’s nuclear weapons system would release £240 billion pounds over the next thirty years, money that could instead be used to make the world safer and transform our society for the better.
With guest speakers including Maryam Eslamdoust, TSSA; Denis Fernando, Friends of the Earth; and Dr Rathi Guhadasan, Socialist Health Alliance. Chaired by Sophie Bolt, CND.
We will discuss the UK’s defence and international policy in the context of shifts in French, US and NATO nuclear doctrine; and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
SPEAKERS:
Lord Kim Darroch, Member of the Lords’ International Relations and Defence Committee and former UK Ambassador to the US (INVITED)
Professor Malcolm Chalmers, Strategic Adviser to the Defence Secretary and former Deputy Director General, RUSI (INVITED)
Professor Mary Kaldor, Professor of Global Governance, LSE (CONFIRMED)
Paul Ingram, Research Affiliate, Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, University of Cambridge (CONFIRMED)

Join CND, Yorkshire CND, and Menwith Hill Accountability Campaign for a day of action as part of our campaign to shut down US bases in the UK. Menwith Hill in Yorkshire is the largest US spy base in Britain which has provided information for the war on Iran and likely involved in the war on Gaza. Registration is essential as we need to book transport to and from the base.
