ICAN-UK and TPNW Advocates Roundtable

Dear ICAN-UK and TPNW advocates,

 

Hope you’ve all had good times during the long summer and are raring to go as we start September with blessed rainfalls.

 

Please join us next Monday at 1.00 pm as we catch up on UK and TPNW developments on nuclear weapons and the TPNW

 

The meeting will be for 90 minutes as we’re focussing on those two key issues.  

 

Very much looking forward to hearing your contributions from all parts of the British Isles to these important discussions, so we can get our campaigning collectively and individually in gear! 

 

ICAN-UK and TPNW Advocates Roundtable

DRAFT AGENDA   7th September 2026 at 1.00 – 2.30 pm by Zoom

 

Note: Meetings are for information exchange and strategising among ICAN partners and other TPNW supporters, not for collective decision-making. Our focus is to increase outreach and awareness of the TPNW, and increase our overall effectiveness to influence UK nuclear policies towards ending nuclear reliance, scrapping the Trident programme, joining the TPNW and contributing to the irreversible elimination of all nuclear weapons.

 

Facilitators: Rebecca and Gari        Note-takers: Magali and Lucy

     

1)  Discussion on UK nuclear policy under PM Andy Burnham and his Cabinet

With Chancellor John Healey, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband and Defence Secretary Wes Streeting, what nuclear policies are on the cards and what mix of strategies, arguments and tactics can TPNW advocates use to reframe nuclear deterrence and disarmament in UK and NATO?

Introduction from Prof Nick Ritchie (tbc)
