UK must build own nuclear missiles to end US reliance, says Ed Davey Sir Ed Davey is calling on the government to start work on a

Lib Dem plans for Britain to build own nuke missiles is a disaster. Costs alone means hundreds of billions in cuts to public services & climate action.
Real independence from US means ending war drive, respecting int law, scrapping nukes & leaving NATO.

Graphic with screenshot of British government press release. Heading and subheading read: "Overhaul of nuclear system to speed up building and cut costs. Plan to overhaul nuclear system will speed up building, strengthen national and energy security, and cut costs." Below screenshot is CND logo and text reading: "No to nuclear power! Sign the petition."

The government plans to block community opposition to new nuclear power stations to boost the nuclear weapons industry.

Nuclear power creates toxic waste, is a costly form of energy generation, and tied to nuclear weapons.

AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases

Given this week’s news about a conflict between Anthropic & Pentagon over using Claude in all kinds of military operations, this highlights how important it is to get a new treaty on autonomous weapons because we cannot rely on companies doing the right thing.

CND is horrified that the Ukraine war continues into its fifth year. It is the most serious nuclear flashpoint in the world today. It is absolutely critical that this brought to an end. Instead of military escalation we need diplomacy and dialogue.

The New Start Treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the US and Russia, ends today @melissaparke01.bsky.social explains why without it, there is a real danger of a new nuclear arms race accelarating between the US and Russia.

Graphic with image Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin facing each other and CND logo in the background. Text above reads: CND statement on the expriry of New START

Graphic with CND logo and page one of statement: The collapse of New START without a replacement represents a serious and dangerous step backwards for global arms control. To get this back on track, we need global public pressure to push for interim measures that could be agreed between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin today! This could involve a one-year moratorium on exceeding New START caps, the resumption of inspections, and a moratorium on deploying new Anti-Ballistic Missile systems like Trump’s Golden Dome. A new treaty is possible if pressure is put on these governments to come to an agreement, which will build momentum to further nuclear arms control agreements involving more nuclear powers.

Graphic with CND logo and page one of statement: As a nuclear-armed state, Britain has clear obligations under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to pursue disarmament in good faith. Rather than sitting on the sidelines, the government could show leadership and use its diplomatic influence to push for the US and Russia to extend New START. CND has written to David Riley UK Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament and our members are lobbying Yvette Cooper, Foreign Secretary, urging them to use their influence to secure the extension of the Treaty.

With the expiry of the New START treaty between Russia and the US, CND is calling on the British government to stop sitting on the sidelines and push for an extentson to the treaty ahead of a new arms control agreement.
