Time to Bin Trident
Let’s spend £100 billion on health, housing & renewables: not nuclear weapons.
In early 2016, parliament will vote on whether to renew the Trident system of nuclear weapons.Costing over £100 billion across 40 years, it will be the biggest spending decision this parliament makes.Instead, that money could pay for any of these things: Fully fund allA&E services for the next 40 years.Build 1.5million affordable homes.Enoughwind-turbines to power all UK households.Scrap tuitionfees for 4 million students.It’s time toconsign Trident to the rubbish bin, and instead focus on peace-building, cooperation and justice.
