Peace On Earth? Rishi Sunak Isn’t Listening

Peace On Earth? Rishi Sunak Isn’t Listening 

“Rishi Sunak travels to Latvia this week where he will call on other European states to raise the level of provision of arms and is committing to supplying £250 million worth of artillery ammunition. This is on top of multiple launch rocket systems, anti aircraft guns and other military equipment. Europe has made a major turn to rearming this year as a result of the war. This is at a time when the peoples of Europe are suffering the high costs of energy prices and attacks on their living standards.

There have been record increases in arms sales worldwide. Sales by the 100 largest arms producing companies were at $592 billion in 2021. The war in Yemen is still bringing devastation to the country and the aggression by Saudi Arabia and the UAE are aided and backed to the hilt by the British government.

Our government’s response is to argue that if we want peace then we need more weaponry and more war. The opposite is true.”
