SCOTLAND’S First Minister Nicola Sturgeon vowed to make “immoral” and “impractical” Trident an election issue at the CND demonstration in London on Saturday.

Addressing tens of thousands of peace protesters at the Stop Trident demo in Trafalgar Square, Ms Sturgeon warned that the use of the nuclear weapons system “would bring about human devastation and suffering on an unimaginable scale.”

Ms Sturgeon said that it “is important that while the decision in Parliament is looming, people had the opportunity to make their voice heard” in a peaceful and democratic manner.
