@transitionsec.bsky.socialReposted by @peace-campaigns.quaker.org.ukNEW: Keir Starmer declared last year that the “peace dividend” was over, promoting the myth that Britain’s military spending has declined since the end of the Cold War. Our latest report shows this simply isn’t true. 🧵

@quaker.org.ukReposted by @peace-campaigns.quaker.org.ukThe climate impact of military activity is often left out of the conversation.

@caatuk.bsky.socialReposted by @peace-campaigns.quaker.org.ukREVEALED: BAE Systems advised at least 13 British universities on how to repress pro-Palestine protests on campus.

@peace-campaigns.quaker.org.ukCount military emissions in climate plans, Quakers say.
@quaker.org.uk have joined more than 20 organisations including in calling for the military's climate impact to be fully included in the UK's plans to tackle climate change.
@peace-campaigns.quaker.org.ukBut 'perhaps the crises we are living with are an opportunity to move beyond the deeply unequal global structures that we have – for better or worse – got used to over the last 80 years. This is a utopian vision that we do need to keep hold of.'
@peace-campaigns.quaker.org.uk'John Lampen is right – Quakers and others who care about a demilitarised and just future need to respond to the changing international order with a thoughtfulness that does not retreat into utopian thinking.'
