Over the years the Labour leaders have supported the deterrent - Atlee started the bomb programme when the Yanks dumped us at the end of the war, Gaitskill fought the unilateralists, Wilson & Callaghan approved Chevaline, Blair kicked off the "Successor" programme in 2006

The question is would the PLP do a deal with the SNP?

And if they did how high on the list would be the removal of Trident be?

I can see it becoming only an "aspiration" while the SNP concentrate on getting more cash and powers from London so they can get their really overriding target which is a fully independent Scotland
