Support from MP’s for chaining ourselves to Westminster railings.

A number of Members of Parliament came out to offer their support and make statements about their opposition to nuclear weapons while we were chained to the railings at Westminster on June 20th. Three of the four Plaid Cymru MPs came out as did the one and only Green MP. One solitary Labour MP joined in. Many thanks to all 5.

Caroline Lucas MP.  Green Party

Caroline Lucas calls on the government to sign the TPNW

Caroline Lucas MP is at the protest saying that the UK should support the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, along with 122 other countries, instead of being a rogue state. Theresa May says she is in favour of multilateral nuclear disarmament, so she should sign up to the treaty to ban nuclear weapons.#NuclearBan #TPNWVideo by Zoe Broughton

Ben Lake MP at Westminster protest

Ben Lake MP explains why he is supporting today's protest, and why MPs who say they support peace should put that into practice and support the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. As he says; it's common sense#TPNWVideo by Zoe Broughton
