Campaign Magazine

Recent problems with the UK's nuclear weapons system have highlighted once again why it needs to be scrapped. Read all about the latest safety concerns in this month's magazine. We also have a guest article from the National Education Union General Secretary Kevin Courtney on why we should all be protesting on Budget Day, in support of teachers and against weapons. 

20 years on from the biggest protest in UK history - to prevent a war on Iraq - we take stock of the lessons we can learn from the actions of the British anti-war movement at the time. In the midst of it all, we should never forget that half a million people died and millions more suffered. We also look at the perilous security situation of today, and why the Doomsday Clock has been set at its most dangerous time in history. The magazine looks at the reasons behind this assessment.

This month's magazine includes an article assessing where we are with the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and what developments we can expect in 2023. This year, we are also likely to see more developments in the militarisation of space. Find out more in the magazine.

The world seemed to become an even more dangerous place in 2022, as we witnessed the existential threat of nuclear war shifting from being an abstract fear to an increasing probability.
