Steve Aitken, a former nuclear submarine commander and member of the Ulster Unionist Party, defended Theresa May, saying that she is under no obligation to speak about sensitive national security matters.
“There is a convention that we don’t talk about the deterrent,” he said on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme this morning. “It’s the nature of the security of this nation and I would fully support the prime minister in avoiding these questions.”
He added that the row had turned into “politicking”.
