In an unstable world, nuclear weapons do not keep us safe.
Money spent on our capability to destroy would be better spent on our ability to bring about peace by peaceful means.
UK to lift cap on nuclear stockpile
Green Party co-leader Jonathan Bartley said “We utterly oppose the decision to encourage a global nuclear arms race by increasing the cap on our warheads. This is a play to defend our seat on the UN Security Council but is no substitute for the geopolitical security we had as part of the strong European bloc.
“We continue to insist that the government lives up to its legal obligation to prevent proliferation by signing up to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.”
Green Party calls for new vision for armed forces in response to defence review.
