Why the government has its priorities wrong
You couldn’t make it up: in a country where two million children don’t have enough to eat and nurses who’ve cared for people during the pandemic are forced to use foodbanks, the government is planning to spend tens of billions on getting even more nuclear weapons.

According to the Royal College of Nursing, around a third of nurses are considering leaving the NHS because they feel ‘under-valued’. And it’s little wonder when the government is, during a pandemic, offering an experienced nurse a pay rise of just £3.50.

Meanwhile, the government’s defence spending increase, announced in November last year, will cost £80 billion over four years. That’s on top of the billions already allocated and before the huge cost of the new nuclear warheads is factored in.

That’s why CND will be holding a ‘Nurses Not Nukes’ online public meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday 28th April, bringing together nurses and healthcare workers with anti-Trident campaigners to discuss how we can build a Britain where we invest in the NHS, not weapons of mass destruction.

Parliamentary CND, along with parliamentarians from five different political parties, has tabled a motion in the House of Commons asking for the government to scrap the increase in nuclear warheads and uphold Britain’s obligations under international law.
