Milestones

We demand the government end the use of taxpayers’ money to fund military interventions or providing military support for conflicts abroad. We believe that our taxes should be spent on improving public services, supporting communities and addressing urgent domestic issues rather than war.

We think the British public deserves to know that their hard-earned money is being spent responsibly and ethically, prioritising peace, stability, and prosperity at home. We seek a foreign policy grounded in diplomacy and peacebuilding rather than what can be costly and divisive military actions that may have limited long-term success. The financial burden of war is significant. The UK’s involvement in wars and military operations over the last two decades has cost billions of pounds.
