UK Opposition Leader Would Refuse To Fire Nuclear Weapons
Mr Cameron’s statement comes after Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said he would not use nuclear bombs on another country’s population.
“My personal view is that we need to have a nuclear deterrent and I will be arguing that point very forcefully within the Labour Party”. Kezia Dugdale is leader of our party in Scotland and I will be working alongside her to win back support for Labour.
Mr Corbyn said a Labour government would put “our young people first” and make sure that “we are narrowing the gap between the richest and the rest”.
The new Labour strongman and scarecrow of the political establishment Jeremy Corbyn might be derided for his appearance, attire and archaic speech, but he certainly understands about spin.
Jeremy Corbyn has said he would never use Britain’s nuclear weapons if he was prime minister.
“We are not in the era of the Cold War any more, it happened, it finished a long time ago”.
A decision on renewing Britain’s nuclear weapons system is due by 2016.
Labour former Defence Minister Kevan Jones said: “It would appear that Jeremy wants to pick and choose what party policy he agrees with”.
Speaking to The Mancunion on Wednesday she still couldn’t believe it had happened and said it was “terrifying, one of the scariest things I’ve ever done”.
Responding to Ms Eagle’s comment, Mr Corbyn told reporters: “We will be having a discussion and a debate about nuclear weapons”. I see Russian Federation flexing its muscles, China parading its nuclear weapons… personally.
His first major address to the party since his election comes a day after Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell told activists “another world” is possible.
One can only hope that the new leader of the Labour party will not take upon himself the concerns of the ruling class, mainly the fear that he is unelectable and change his style.
Corbyn also welcomed the increasing number of ethnic minorities who have found home in the Labour party since the leadership election.
“And, frankly, the way the Labour leader has answered that question demonstrates that Labour can’t be trusted with our national security which, after all, is the most important duty of government”.
Her remarks prompted a tweet by shadow global development secretary Diane Abbott: “Surprised that Maria Eagle criticises JC for making his position clear on Trident nuclear weapon system”.
In a statement, IPSE director of policy Simon McVicker said: “It’s good to see Labour talking more about supporting the self-employed, but they need to be careful not to cast everyone in this group as vulnerable”.
