Labour candidates oppose new Trident
Two-thirds want end to £100bn nuclear waste
Trident renewal is strongly opposed by three-quarters of Labour’s general election candidates, a poll revealed yesterday.
A representative survey by CND of the party’s candidates, including sitting MPs, showed 75 per cent are against wasting £100 billion on new nuclear weapons.
And that rises to 80 per cent among candidates standing in Labour’s 106 target seats and most likely to be elected to Parliament on May 7.
