Corbyn & Trident

'Trident subs without warheads an option' - as just spoken by Jeremy Corbyn on the Andrew Marr Show.

Jeremy Corbyn has suggested the UK could keep its Trident submarine fleet but without carrying nuclear warheads.
The Labour leader told the Andrew Marr show that protecting defence jobs was his "first priority" and there were "options" for doing this while taking a lead in global nuclear "de-escalation".
Labour, which is split over the issue of renewing Trident, has said the idea is similar to one adopted by Japan.
And it gets better:

■ The UK and Argentina should discuss the future of the Falklands Islands while respecting residents "right to stay"
So, vote Jezza for a £40 billion investment in an impotent submarine weapons system (without the weapons) & to sell out the Falkland Islanders who can stay in Las Malvinas.

To quote Blackadder 2: 'excellent, sensible policies for a happier Britain'.
