Keir Starmer tells SNP to reverse nuclear weapons opposition

 NOW is the time to reaffirm the UK Government’s commitment to nuclear
weaponry, the Prime Minister has said – on the day that international
efforts to promote a global ban on the technology step up.

Speaking in the Commons on Monday, Keir Starmer took issue with the SNP’s opposition to
nuclear weapons – apparently in response to comments from First Minister
John Swinney last week. The SNP leader suggested that a focus on nuclear
weapons was an “inhibitor” to combating current military challenges due
to the “resources they command” – and called for the funding
allocated for renewing Trident should instead be invested in
“conventional weaponry”.
