Every MP except for a small band of independents, EU hierarchy, US Presidency, Congress etc. But you need to go beyond politics to the big money US backers and the arms manufacturers. Blood on all their hands.

UK fighter jets carrying Donald Trump’s nuclear bombsβ€”is this anyone’s vision of security?

We should be leading efforts to reduce and eliminate nuclear arsenals, not investing further in these horrific weapons to satisfy the loose cannon Trump administration.
