Candidates unite against Trident cash
CND find 81% of candidates are against renewal

THE next generation of Labour MPs will pose a serious challenge to their party’s support for Trident renewal, prominent candidate Catherine West predicted yesterday. 

Labour’s Hornsey and Wood Green candidate, who is set to unseat Lib Dem minister Lynne Featherstone, is among a majority of would-be MPs opposed to Trident. 

A massive 81 per cent of candidates from all parties have pledged to vote against spending £100 billion on Trident in 2016, according to  results of a CND survey released yesterday.
