These talks at the Hope in the Time of Trump conference organized by the Yorkshire Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament include three excellent speakers: Paul Rogers, Current threats to peace and how we respond; Janet Fenton, Progress on the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons; and Fabian Hamilton (MP), Labour’s Peace Doctrine. Each talk is less than 15 minutes.
