Nuclear weapons cannot solve the crises of our time
It’s time to step up our campaigning for peace and disarmament, writes JEREMY CORBYN MP

ON Hiroshima Day each August we remember the anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which indiscriminately killed over 100,000 civilians and military personnel. 

Still today, many survivors live with the horrific humanitarian consequences, including cancer caused by the exposure to nuclear radiation.

We must never forget these atrocities, and we must never give up on the mission to rid our world of nuclear weapons.
