Stop selling arms to help Saudi Arabia wage war and reveal its links to extremists, British public urges May

Exclusive: Poll reveals deep unease about Britain’s close relationship with an autocracy embroiled in a devastating war

An overwhelming majority of the public believes it is wrong for Britain to supply billions of pounds of weapons to the kingdom, an exclusive poll for The Independent has found.
