Tell your Lib Dem MP: No New Nukes

Sir Ed Davey’s call for the UK to develop a fully independent nuclear weapons system represents a dangerous and irresponsible shift in Liberal Democrat policy. It risks committing Britain to a hugely expensive expansion of its nuclear arsenal, which would cost hundreds of billions of pounds that would inevitably come at the expense of public services, climate action, and efforts to tackle poverty and inequality. At a time of rising global tensions, this is a move away from de-escalation and disarmament.

As a party with a strong tradition of supporting multilateral disarmament and international law, the Liberal Democrats must not go down this path without challenge. That is why it is so important that Liberal Democrat MPs hear directly from their own constituents.

By writing to your Liberal Democrat MP, you can send a clear message that this proposal is unacceptable and must be opposed.
