Merseyside CND local news
Today National CND has released a new report which refutes the myths surrounding nuclear disarmament and employment and shows why scrapping Trident would create more jobs than it would cost.

The latest edition of the Merseyside CND newsletter is now available to download and features:
National CND has announced that the cost replacing Trident will cost £205,000,000,000 (billion).
With Parliament set to vote later this year, we urge you to lobby your MP and tell them to reject a new generation of nuclear weapons. Instead this money should be spent on the NHS, education, transport and other vital public services. If you live in Merseyside you can find the contact details of your MP in this document.
National CND is calling for a lobby of MPs as Parliament prepares to vote on whether to waste £100,000,000,000 (billion) on a new generation of nuclear weapons.
Following on from the hugely successful Stop Trident demonstration in February, this lobby is not only a great way to maintain momentum but could also be our last opportunity to influence the decision.
Please contact your MP and tell them that instead of murderous, useless and obscenely expensive nuclear weapons, that money should be spent on the N.H.S., education, transport and other vital public services.
As a sign of the widespread opposition to Trident, CND is being supported by numerous organisations including: Campaign against Arms Trade, Medact and the Quakers
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.
