MILIBAND HITS back as Trident row escalates
Fallon’s ‘demeaning’ remark accused of dragging nuclear debate into gutter

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon faced a backlash after he accused Labour leader Ed Miliband of planning to “stab the United Kingdom in the back” over the renewal of Britain’s nuclear weapons.
Mr Fallon claimed that Labour would have to abandon any plans to renew the Trident fleet in order to secure the support of the Scottish National Party (SNP) in a hung parliament.
