I do not think we should be renewing Trident. I think we should be fulfilling our obligations under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. We should be promoting an international nuclear weapons convention which would lead to a nuclear free world and I do not believe therefore that we should be spending £100 billion on renewing Trident. i think instead (that is taking up a quarter of the defence budget by the way), there are many in the military that don't want Trident too because they see it as an obsolete thing that they don't need. They would much rather see spending on conventional weapons and conventional forces and I would like to see that money also used to invest in manufacturing industry and to protect those very high-skilled jobs that at the moment are used making the weaponry and the vessels that go with them.
