We condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine as an act of imperialist aggression. Solidarity with the people of Ukraine, with all those caught up in the fighting, and with those working for peace in Russia and Ukraine. #НетВойне #Нівійні

Following the great work of @BenQuinn75 and the Open Democracy team we crunched some additional numbers on defence industry donations to the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Armed Forces.

Today is #NursesDay and this year more than ever they deserve our gratitude and support. We can afford a 44% increase in nuclear weapons but can't afford more than a 1% payrise for nurses? Time to demand a shift in priorities - https://t.co/1UCoSpSF4M

Activists in Glasgow attended the emergency rally in solidarity with Palestinians. The UK has licensed £400m in arms to Israel since 2015. These sales provide both military support and political support for the daily abuse that is central to the occupation. #StopArmingIsrael

[Scottish CND @ScottishCND]

For @scotlibdems , on the question of funding the ams trade David McKenzie says "it's down to the government to make decisions not to allow selling arms"

[Scottish CND @ScottishCND]

For @ScottishLabour , @AlexRowleyFife says that we should not be selling arms to fuel wars like the ones in Yemen - "everyone in Scotland should be outraged at that." Says "we've got to diversify if we're serious about arms sales."

[Scottish CND @ScottishCND]

For @scottishgreens , @Ross_Greer says "an industry of death should not be normal. We should not have arms manufacturers going into schools. There should be no government funding to arms companies."

UK military spending will outstrip climate spending by 8 times over the next 4 years. If you think we should #DefundTheMilitary and Defend people & planet, why not shout about it in your local media? https://t.co/FU9LRfQ6Xj @GCOMS_UK @DemilitarizeDay

[Cut UK Military Spending - Fund Human Need @GCOMS_UK]

According to @SIPRI figures released today, despite the health crisis and the greatest drop in UK economic output on record, military spending rose by 2.9%. This has to stop - email your MP and demand a change in priorities - https://t.co/1UCoSpSF4M

[Campaign Against Arms Trade @CAATuk]

The UK has increased its nuclear warheads by 44%, while cutting aid to the world’s poorest by 30%. Where do you think the UK’s military budget should be spent instead? @DemilitarizeDay @GCOMS_UK #defundthemilitary

[Peace & Justice @PeaceJusticeSco]

In an @RethinkingSecu1 Blog Post @PeaceJusticeSco Coordinator @rbrianlarkin explains why he & fellow activists from @XRPeace blocked @BAESystemsInc London HQ in 2019 & why we need to move from an outmoded model of national security & #DefundTheMilitary to address#ClimateCrisis

[Don't Bank on the Bomb Scotland @NukeDivestScot]

Happening tonight ☮️

[Campaign Against Arms Trade @CAATuk]

Over the next 4 years, the UK will spend 8 times more on the military than it will on tackling the climate crisis. #DefundTheMilitary Defend people and planet. #HealthcareNotWarfare Share if you agree. @GCOMS_UK @DemilitarizeDay

[Pax Christi Scotland @PaxScotland]

#Divestment New Don’t Bank On The Bomb report shows the shocking extent of investment in weapons of mass destruction in Scotland. Time to make our voices heard on divestment . @PaxChristi @ScottishCND @CAATScotland . https://t.co/htpmAeRegt
