The resignations of Healey and Carns show the military elite and arms manufacturers are getting ready for a fight Arms spending is the issue of our age. The entire anti-war and trade union movement is needed to demand an end to war-mongering and war-driven austerity! #All2London20June

Conscription is being introduced across Europe and the UK govt has plans for something similar here, beginning with its military 'gap year' plan. Join us on 20 June and say jobs not conscription - welfare not warfare!

We condemn the monstrous attack that took place on Monday evening on Stephen Ogilvy. Our thoughts are with him and his family. There can never be any justification for racism, vigilantism, or collective blame. We have seen attacks on homes, houses being set alight with families inside them, and the racist targeting of ethnic minority communities and migrants. We must stand with every family under attack and show that they are not alone, not forgotten and not abandoned. That is why we are gathering this Saturday for peaceful rallies in Belfast and Derry, and we ask for every UCU representative and member in Northern Ireland to make every effort to join. Please see our full statement here: ucu.org.uk/article/14543/Sta… Saturday 13 June Belfast: City Hall, 1pm Derry: Guildhall, 2pm

Lower Your Guns and Raise Our Wages! With Healey's resignation over arms spending, it was a fitting day for a Westminster Bridge banner drop to promote the International Anti-War conference #WelfareNotWarfare #WagesNotWeapons #AlltoLondon20June

The 1% cut from all government department budgets to pay for increased defence spending shows where the government’s priorities lie – build the military and spend on arms at the expense of the services we all rely on

Solidarity from Capital City College Your fight is our fight. Forward now to national action. #DefendeducationDefendjobs

“No redundancies ever again." That's the message from students and staff at Goldsmiths today. This is the third round of cuts in five years. Hundreds of jobs are at risk. Staff taking lawful industrial action have been hit with 100% pay deductions. Enough is enough. #NoRedundanciesEverAgain #Goldsmiths #UCU

The push to reintroduce conscription is part of the massive rearmament drive taking place across Europe. And it's coming to the UK soon! We're looking forward to hearing about German school students' anti-conscription campaign at the International Anti-War conference.

Thanks to the @publiclawcentre for backing the International Anti-War conference. Challenging injustice, including the government's attacks on the fundamental right to protest for peace.

Lower your Guns – Raise our Wages – Say No to War! With the Generals on the media warning that Britain is facing its 'most dangerous period' since the Cold War, the International Anti-War conference could not be happening at a more prescient time.

But to stop Trump we need a mass, international mobilisation, which is why the International Anti-War conference in London on June 20 is so critical as a starting point for action and for building an international movement for peace: @LindseyAGerman morningstaronline.co.uk/arti…
