Brighton Stop the War – Starmer’s Labour: No More War!
Speakers:
Chris Nineham – Vice Chair Stop the War Coalition
Paddy O’Keeffe – Peace Activist & Brighton & Hove Stop the War Coalition
Anna Stavrianakis – Shadow World Investigations & Stop L3Harris Campaign
Keir Starmer’s Labour promises to be a government of more war and militarism. Starmer and his Labour Government have backed the genocide in Gaza, challenged the ICC’s application for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, failed to publish legal advice on arms sales and fueled the war in Ukraine. Starmer backed unlawful bombing raids on Yemen and boasts of an “unshakeable commitment to NATO”. Starmer’s Labour government is committed to more nuclear weapons and to increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP.
We need a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to arms sales and to the escalating war in Ukraine and the threat of nuclear weapons, and a government that puts welfare before warfare.
Join Brighton & Hove Stop the War to discuss building the campaign for a foreign and defence policy based on peace and diplomacy, not war and destruction.
