CND supported this week's march against austerity ahead of the military spending hikes announced in the Chancellor's autumn budget. We call on the government to change direction and to prioritise People Not Nukes!

#Burnham's appointment of #JohnHealey as #Chancellor is bad news. We can expect large increases in military spending that will do nothing to make Britain or the world any safer. The only thing that military spending protects is the profits of arms companies.

Increasing "defence" spending won't defend us. The only thing it will defend is the profits of arms companies. Here's a thread about why.

The rich won’t fight the #starmerwars.
The sons of the rich won’t die in the #starmerwars.

£1.5 billion a day is being spent by the US on its illegal war on Iran - billions that could instead be spent providing genuine security to millions of people.

A lesson for Keir Starmer to prioritise #NursesNotNukes and #WelfareNotWarfare!

So much for boosting growth – this investment shows the reality of jobs created by the arms industry. £1.5 billion investment for 350 jobs, that’s £4.3 million spent per job created. #NursesNotNukes #WagesNotWeapons

NATO is launching big attack on public services to push up spending on war and nuclear weapons.

We need spending on health and education, not defence. #NursesNotNukes

If spending doesn’t rise, then MEPs should “get out your Russian language courses or go to New Zealand.”
