Alas, the era of nuclear peace has now ended - and here's why // George Kerevan thenational.scot/news/17406103.…

While it's positive that such a motion has been accepted, it is our intention to amend the resolution to ensure that our party's longstanding committment to Trident removal is not superseded by a future bid for NATO membership, and that the decision is subject to popular mandate.

Note also that RAF has been making provocative flights near Russian airspace in Baltic AND Black Sea. Indy Scotland should avoid being sucked into new Cold War. All Europe should be a nuclear free zone. Scottish CND @SnpCnd

MAJOR BREAKING: Wales becomes the first country worldwide through its national Parliament to show its solidarity with the Kurdish hunger strikers. ✊

The Welsh Government is now advised to write to the Committee for the Prevention of Torture calling on them to visit Imrali Prison to assess the conditions of Abdullah Öcalan, the Kurdish leader.

This is how pro-NATO arguments work: raise largely sensible concerns about things like Russian interference and hostility in the Baltics etc. - and then end by counterposing security efforts against the SNP's anti-trident position. Pure sleight-of-hand. scotsman.com/news/opinion/h…

The deadline for amendments to conference is 9am on the 29th of March - please take our amendment to your branches! This is our chance to make sure Scotland isn't dragged into storing nuclear weapons for an extended period of time after independence!

Only 16% of voters list "Defence and security" as influencing their views on independence. Rather than pursue the failed, discredited doctrines of old, the SNP has more than enough political capital to articulate a new, different vision for a more human international order 🌐🕊️☮️

We'd love to engage with this! (With a particular eye on Swedish and Finnish defence policy 😏 🇸🇪🇫🇮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

A day to reflect. tribunemag.co.uk/2019/04/nato-a…

On the 70th anniversary of NATO's founding, we can see for ourselves how the "freedom" it bestowed upon the Libyan people has worked out.

And that's just before we get to repurposing Faslane naval base 😈
