Trump's threat to destroy a civilisation, with its implied threat of nuclear war, spread fear around the world.
@LabourCND says: we welcome the opportunity for a negotiated agreement between the US and Iran that the 2 week ceasefire brings. The peace movement remains on high alert to the dangers of nuclear war.
Tonight's emergency protest is cancelled

THIS SATURDAY! Join CND at the Palestine Coalition's feeder march to the @UKTogetherAll 'Against the Far Right' demonstration in London.
Assemble from 12 noon at the Hyde Park end of Exhibition Road.
Great to see people out on Framwellgate Bridge, demonstrating against the ongoing genocide in Palestine & Trump’s War in Iran. Durham has a long & very proud tradition of peace activism & we’re going to have to draw on that again in the coming weeks & months. #StopTheWar
In the Arab world, Israel is increasingly viewed as a greater security threat than Iran, and the US as an unreliable ally. The anti-war movement in Britain must recognise these changes. Our job is to demand no support from Britain for war on Iran by the US and Israel.
Leaders of two Labour-affiliated unions, @fbunational & @TSSAunion want a change of Labour leader. Scottish Labour want a change of leader. 34 % of party members want a change of leader.
@LabourCND says: A different leader won’t cut it. Labour needs a new course.
