Today I challenged the govt’s so called “defence” spending plan—a whopping £15 billion on nuclear weapons that must never be used. That money could be used to deliver real security: affordable housing, strong public services, climate resilience, and pandemic preparedness.

Defend our borders, stop the illegal boat invaders

Helen 🇬🇧1 year ago

Defending the borders from boat people would be a good start. Sick of it.

We currently have two nuclear armed fascist countries attacking a European democracy what do you expect the government to do?

AJ1 year ago

Spot on Ellie. The last thing we want is for our conquering invaders to be met by weak public services & a lack of affordable housing. I bet you're at Russian language night school now.

Nukes are a deterrent to stop the country being attacked. By your logic should we remove all security from parliament and MPs?

Hiroshima and Nagasaki showed the world that the effects of nuclear weapons cannot be contained to a battlefield, a moment, or a generation. Any use would risk catastrophic human suffering on a scale that no humanitarian response could adequately address. Nuclear weapons must never be used again.

The administration is threatening a major escalation of the war it unilaterally started with Iran — and now wants $200 billion more. That money could and should be used to lower health care costs, build more housing, and make things more affordable for Americans.

🚨 ✅ This is the moment at PMQs that really caught my attention. Andy Burnham “Having strong national security also depends upon having resilience in our communities.” YES 🙌 Andy Burnham refuses to accept that strengthening our national security means throwing welfare and vulnerable people under the bus. “Having strong national security also depends upon having resilience in our communities.” Exactly. A secure country needs strong defence AND housing, functioning public services, energy security, food security and resilient communities. Security is the resilience of the whole country, not just the size of the defence budget.

NEW: Trump just shut down a ridiculous question from Jim Acosta’s girlfriend about using nuclear weapons on Iran. “Why would a stupid question like that be asked?... No, I wouldn't use it. A nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody.”

I oppose all nuclear weapons and believe in a nuclear-free Middle East as part of a nuclear-free world. Today I called on the Foreign Secretary to address Israel’s nuclear weapons arsenal – thought to include at least 90 nuclear warheads. There must be no double standards.

President Trump says he and Putin talked about "de-nuclearizing" and that "there's no reason for us to be building brand new nuclear weapons." "We were talking about de-nuking; president Putin and I agreed we are going to do it in a very big way. There's no reason for us to be building brand new nuclear weapons. We already have so many you could destroy the world 50 times over, 100 times over. And here we are building new nuclear weapons and they're building nuclear weapons and China is building nuclear weapons and China is trying to catch up because you know, they're very substantially behind, but ithin five or six years they'll be even. And we're all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually hopefully much more productive. Hopefully there'll never be a time wren with -- when we need those weapons. If there's ever a time when we need nuclear weapon, the kind of weapons that we're building and Russia has and China has to a lesser extent but will have. That's going to be a very sad day. That's going to be probably oblivion."

I took the opportunity in today’s constitution debate to say that Scotland should be free of nuclear weapons & that we should stop spending billions on weapons of mass destruction & instead bolster our public services. Nurses not Nukes, Teachers not Trident, Bairns not Bombs.

Great to take part in the #NATO-Industry Forum in Bucharest. There is no strong defence without a strong defence industry – and the threats we face are real and lasting. So we must be prepared. By working together, we can deliver greater security as well as economic growth.

And I believe that the president, in his statements over the last 48 hours, is referring to this… So when the president talks about this being one of the most historic days in the history of the world and eliminating a civilization, we could see a type of warfare today that we’ve never seen before on this planet… Not nuclear weapons, but some sort of conventional weapon of mass destruction.” #IranWar‌ Erick Erickson Kevin Walling 2WAY

"Instead of organic carrots having to be called organic carrots, maybe they could just be called carrots, and carrots grown with chemicals could be called chemical carrots?" "And maybe those that grow with chemicals have to demonstrate and show the chemicals that were used in the production?"
