Trident and the Labour Defence Policy Review

27feb16_stop_trident_460_2c

Soon after his election as Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn announced a review of defence policy. This, crucially, will include Trident and gives anti-nuclear activists, and the wider general public, the chance to voice opposition to new generation of useless and obscenely expensive nuclear weapons.

C.N.D. campaigners have spoken at over 40 Stop Trident events across the country and have been met with overwhelming support from audiences who agree that the time has come to abolish nuclear weapons and, instead, use the money for the NHS, education, transport and battling climate change.
