Catch up: CND webinar "Invest in Peace not Nukes"

Posted: 21st May 2025

Watch back this webinar discussing why we must put pressure on the government to reverse course and invest in peace and a sustainable economy, not nuclear weapons and more militarism.

Ahead of a CND demonstration at Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth, CND is highlighting its particular role at the centre of Britain’s deadly nuclear weapons system. It services the current generation of nuclear-armed Vanguard submarines, and is a decommissioning centre for nuclear-powered submarines.

The billions being wasted here and elsewhere on nuclear weapons could be spent on social welfare instead, and redirected into creating highly skilled, well-paid jobs that don’t threaten people and planet. The webinar covers the true cost of nuclear weapons – financially, on jobs, and the dangers posed to local populations.

With guest speakers Alex Gordon, former RMT President; Sophie Bolt, General Secretary, CND; and Tony Staunton, Vice-Chair CND. Chaired by Sara Medi Jones, CND Campaigns Director.
