John Rees, Stop the War national officer and one of the conference organisers said: "The wolf is at the door. Donald Trump is setting fires he has no intention and no capacity to extinguish. European political leaders have begun a continent-wide rearmament programme on a scale not seen since World War Two. They're making arms companies rich and the rest of us poor. Every day another politician or army chief tells us we have to accept austerity and prepare for war. Conscription has returned in Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Keir Starmer is threatening the same here.

"The International Anti-War conference in London on 20 June is the response from trade unionists and anti-war activists. It could not come at a more vital time. Together we will demand welfare, not warfare, wages not weapons."
