Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) is a UK-based organisation working to end the international arms trade. Nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.
Keir Starmer and David Lammy both belong in The Hague.
I have written a letter to the Foreign Secretary and Business Secretary, supported by @CAATuk and co-signed by 56 MPs/Lords, calling for an arms embargo on Israel and transparency into export controls. We should not arm a state involved in the indiscriminate killing of civilians.
BREAKING: US nuclear weapons have reportedly arrived on British soil for the first time in almost two decades. Reports indicate that several B61-12 thermonuclear gravity bombs were received at RAF Lakenheath, in Suffolk. Britain is now a US nuclear base.
