In 2025 the government announced it would be buying 12 nuclear-capable fighter jets: a significant expansion of Britain’s nuclear capabilities which would mean the UK could launch nuclear weapons from both the sea and sky. Funding was confirmed in the government’s Defence Investment Plan published in June 2026.
This nuclear expansion won’t make us safer. Instead it would increase the risk of nuclear weapons being used in war. And take even more money away from our public services.
Buying American nuclear jets would also tie Britain even closer to the dangerous leadership of Donald Trump. Join CND’s campaign to stop this nuclear expansion and help us scrap Britain’s nuclear weapons altogether.
A united coalition of MPs, trade unions, faith groups and peace organisations joined CND at Downing Street to hand in a joint letter urging the government to stop its dangerous nuclear expansion.
We now need you to urgently get involved with the following:
- Contact your MP today to tell them to put pressure on the government to scrap these plans to buy nuclear capable fighter jets
- Join CND today to be a part of our movement for peace
- Find out more about the campaign
CND urges the government to reverse its disastrous war drive, and instead focus on providing real, human security – funding health, education, and climate action. Join us to stop these deadly nuclear jets from being stationed at RAF Marham. Campaigners have forced Britain to remove nuclear weapons before – we can do it again!
