Why is the UK still supporting this war?
“A whole civilization will die tonight.”
That’s the level of rhetoric driving this war.
And yet the UK is still allowing its bases to be used in support of it.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
SPAIN SAID NO. WHY WON'T THE UK?
Spain has closed its airspace to US military aircraft involved in the Iran war.
Britain is still allowing UK bases to be used.
So if Spain can say no to complicity…
why can’t the UK?
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
NOT JOINING THE WAR? OUR BASES HAVE.
Starmer says Britain is not joining the war with Iran.
But he's granted the US wider use of UK bases beyond the original "defensive" justification.
If war is enabled from UK soil, are we really “not involved”?
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
Britain doesn't want another war.
Britain doesn't want another war.
Only 20% of the public support war with Iran. Yet the loudest voices in politics (including Kemi Badenoch, Nigel Farage and Tony Blair) are urging Keir Starmer to take a bigger role.
We’ve seen this story before.
#peacetaxtuesdays
UK bases. UK complicity.
If UK bases are being used in US strikes on Iran are we really “not involved”? Peace isn’t just about whether we fire the missiles. It’s about whether we enable the war.

85 seconds to midnight. What are our taxes funding?
The Doomsday Clock is now 85 seconds to midnight.
Our taxes are being used to make the world less safe. (1/5)

If international law doesn't matter, what's left to prevent war?
If powerful states ignore international law when it suits them, what’s left to prevent war? And who pays the price?
At Conscience, we believe one answer is: stop treating war as the default, and stop funding it as if it’s inevitable.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
“We need those who are working for peace, at this dangerous time in our history, even more.”
Daria's not alone.
Join the call for a legal right to redirect taxes from war to peace.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
We can’t opt out of what our taxes fund, even when it violates our conscience. A Peace Tax would change that, allowing conscientious objectors to contribute to peacebuilding instead.
2026 is the year we make the moral option a real one.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
It's 2 days before Christmas, but "Peace on Earth" feels empty when UK defence spending is set to rise by £11.5bn over the next 3 years.
This Christmas, let’s stop pretending the only option is more war.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
Tomorrow the resident doctors’ strike begins. It's being framed as patients vs doctors and that there’s no money. Meanwhile UK defence spending is set to rise (£62bn → £73bn).
We believe our taxes should fund real human security, not war.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays #DoctorStrike #NHS
Billions in tax rises, but not a penny cut from military spending.
If we can find money for bombs, we can find money for peace.
It’s time to recognise the right of conscientious objection to military taxation.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays #TaxesForPeaceNotWar
Tomorrow’s Budget will likely mean tax rises and spending cuts, but not for the military.
Peace is always a choice.
A right to redirect military tax to peacebuilding would give us that choice, and real security.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays #Budget2026
On #RemembranceDay we remember all victims of war.
The white poppy calls for peace.
So do we. That's why we campaign for taxes for peace, not war.
#WhitePoppy #PeaceTaxTuesdays
This #RemembranceSunday, we will remember all victims of war, on every side, civilian and military alike.
The white poppy stands for peace and a future without war.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays #RemembranceDay #WhitePoppy
As the Chancellor prepares next month’s Budget, we need a new kind of spending plan: one that builds peace, not war.
Britain should invest in peacebuilding and mediation, not more militarisation.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays #Budget2025
A ceasefire may stop the bombs, but it doesn’t build peace.
Real peace needs investment in diplomacy, justice and reconciliation, not endless military spending.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
A ceasefire isn’t peace.
The UK spends £60bn+ a year on the military, but only a fraction on peacebuilding.
Peace needs funding, not just ceasefires.
Conscience campaigns for the right to redirect taxes from war to peace.
Let’s invest in peace, not war.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
The UK's plan to buy nuclear-capable F-35A jets breaches the Non Proliferation Treaty. Yet taxpayers are still forced to pay for them.
You can refuse to to fight in war, but not to fund it.
Conscience campaigns to change that.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
As Rachel Reeves plans tax rises and more cuts, remember: the UK spends 60x more on the military than on peace.
Isn't it time for change?

We’ll reveal the truth this evening… #PeaceTaxTuesdays
DSEI may have packed up, but the arms trade doesn’t stop when the fair ends.
Our taxes still fund war every single day.
We say: let’s invest in peace instead.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
As DSEI 2025 opens its doors today in London, taxpayers have no choice but to fund the arms trade through their taxes.
Conscience believes you should have the right to direct your taxes to peacebuilding instead of war.
#stopthearmsfair #dseiuk2025 #peacetaxtuesdays
Conscience isn’t new.
From WW1 objectors to today’s campaigners, people in the UK have stood against war for over a century.
We continue that fight by calling for a right to redirect taxes from war to peace.
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
The government makes the choice for you: billions go to the military every year.
But if it was up to YOU, where would your taxes go instead?
Reply with your answer 👇
#PeaceTaxTuesdays
Every Tuesday we remind people that our taxes fund war.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Imagine if your taxes could go directly towards peace, health, and education instead.
That’s what we’re campaigning for.
