The UK spent £53.9 billion on 'defence' in 2023/24.Just £853 million went to peacebuilding. That’s more than 60 times as much on preparing for war than preventing it. Shouldn’t our taxes fund peace, not war? #PeaceTaxTuesdays #TaxesForPeace #RightToRefuseWar

Since the partial suspension of export licences, the UK has exported over 8000 individual munitions, 150,000 bullets and 299 "tanks and other armored fighting vehicles" to Israel. Continuing to arm a genocidal regime is indefensible. The UK must end ALL arms sales to Israel.

"I hate any weapons. The thought of killing another person haunts me. I don’t wish my money to go to aid the killing of people.” Adam’s story is just one of many. Join the call for a legal right to redirect taxes from war to peace. #PeaceTaxTuesdays #TaxesForPeace

What is conscientious objection to military taxation? It’s the right to say “I will not fund war.” Just as the UK recognises the right to object to military service, we believe it’s time to recognise the right to object to military funding. #PeaceTaxTuesdays #taxesforpeace

Britain must reject Trump’s nuclear deal. It makes us a target. It has nothing to do with British security and everything to do with US nuclear expansion. Starmer must stop the war drive and focus on rebuilding public services, ending poverty, meeting climate action goals.
