<div>Dear Prime Minister,I am writing to urge you to choose a different path for Britain: one that prioritises diplomacy and public investment over nuclear weapons and militarism.The world is facing the highest nuclear risks since the Cold War. At this dangerous moment, Britain should be working to reduce tensions, not contributing to a new global arms race. The government's Defence Investment Plan will increase spending on Britain's nuclear weapons programme by a further £64 billion over the next four years, including the purchase of US F-35A nuclear-capable fighter jets. This will not make us safer. Instead, it fuels a dangerous arms race while diverting resources away from tackling the cost-of-living crisis, rebuilding our public services and addressing the climate emergency.I urge you to pursue a foreign policy based on diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution. Britain should work to reduce nuclear dangers by meeting its disarmament obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, cancelling the replacement of Trident — which is now expected to cost at least £240 billion over its lifetime — and rejecting any expansion of Britain's nuclear weapons capabilities.I also ask you to support diplomatic solutions to international conflicts, including in the Middle East. The illegal US assault on Iran has increased the risk of a wider regional war, with serious consequences for global stability and the cost of living here at home. Britain must not be drawn into another illegal war and should instead play a leading role in promoting dialogue and de-escalation.Rather than spending more on nuclear weapons, I urge you to invest in rebuilding public services, tackling climate change, improving public transport, building affordable homes and creating secure, skilled jobs through a just transition for workers and communities currently dependent on the arms industry. Far from kick-starting economic growth and boosting jobs, the previous government's own data shows that military procurement creates fewer jobs than health, education, rail or social care.Finally, I ask you to deliver long-overdue justice for Britain's nuclear test veterans and their families by formally recognising the lasting harm caused by Britain's nuclear testing programme.Britain needs a new direction that puts people before weapons, protects our planet and invests in saving lives rather than preparing for war. I hope your government will provide that leadership.</div>
