CAAT: Palantir, Burnham, Military On Campus...read CN277 here

CAAT News 277 is now live!

Read our latest issue of CAAT News to explore how far the arms industry is extending its reach – from Downing Street to Big Tech to our university campuses.

After watching an illegal US war on Iran spread into Lebanon, killing thousands across the region and displacing millions, and the death toll in Gaza continuing to rise despite an apparent ceasefire, the world is eager to see a change in direction.

We ask: what role is Britain playing in this global devastation? And will our new leadership continue to walk us further down this destructive path, with the same impunity and indifference?

CAAT News, more than a magazine, is a tool to expose and challenge the arms trade. Producing it takes significant time, effort, and resources.
