I obviously know about Corbyn's views on our nuclear deterrent but he went into the GE on a manifesto promise of renewing Trident.Now he will scrap it as soon ad he can.
I voted for Labour because of this manifesto which was leaps and bounds better than the Tory one.However it seems that there was atleast one lie in there and it's a biggie.Many people put their reluctance aside because of this issue.Now he's just given a big kick in the nads to those people who were duped into voting for him.
I'm not voting again tbh until a proper alternative option is available.
Politics is a power game. They all lie to get the power they want. I'm sorry you were disappointed.
