Labour without Trident policy by 2016 elections

Meanwhile, Mr Corbyn also his party’s demise in Scotland was in part a result of its involvement in the Better Together campaign and he will attack the Conservatives during his visit.

After Labour’s near wipeout in Scotland in May’s general election, he said the party was focusing on the Holyrood elections as it attempts to rebuild – although opinion polls suggest the SNP is on course for another sweeping victory.

The Labour party conference also committed itself to nationalization of the United Kingdom rail network, and to the opposition of another set of “unneeded, unwanted and ill-thought-through privatisation”.

After the previous defeat of the Labour Party, they elected Ed Miliband as leader.

On Trident and on his answer that he “could not push the nuclear button”, Maria Eagle, the shadow defence secretary qualified the answer as being “unhelpful”.

“I will certainly, when the House is back, make people aware that I’m very happy to discuss defence, as I have always been with people within the Labour Party and indeed previously they did consult me and ask my view”.

‘I know things have all pretty much settled down now, but I just want to make sure everybody has my number, ‘ he said at a sparsely-attended press call on the fringe of the Labour conference in Brighton.

“We are not under any threat from any nuclear power”, he said.

The Islington MP is trying to dispel worries raised by ex-Scottish leader Johann Lamont, who branded the operation a “branch office” with senior figures in Westminster pulling the strings.

Corbyn has made controversial comments linked to September 11 before.

SNP depute leader Stewart Hosie said: “Labour’s position on Trident has become utterly indefensible”.

“There have been many gestures and symbols but what is needed now is a clear policy platform”.

He added: ” Obviously, if another referendum takes place then people will decide what they want to do.

“There’s a difference between being a party of protest and a party of government”, he told Sky News’ Murnaghan show. Defense experts say one Trident missile has eight times the capacity than the atomic bomb dropped on Japan in 1945.

“Jeremy has connected with people across the country because he puts fairness first”.

“The gap between the richest and the rest in our schools is holding our communities back”.

I have no faith in Jeremy Corbyn but I will give him a chance and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Labour under his leadership.
