What's the Labour stance on Trident? Corbyn still against it, but the party still in favour?

Broadly yes as far as I know, trident has a lot of union backing because it creates a lot of jobs.

Genuinely amazed how badly everyone else is campaigning. Surely, surely someone would have figured out how to do at some point this decade.

It's the only way Corbyn can win, because he's so terrible. It's very kind of the Lib Dems and Tories to follow in Theresa May's footsteps :)

On the other hand it might be complacency after years of playing on easy mode, to the extent that they've forgotten or never realised this was the case :D

MoD stats say 520 civilian jobs and strictly working on Trident missiles and nothing else, 6,500 supporting Trident and the four submarines, of which 3,500 of those are uniformed Royal Navy, 1,700 are contractors, and 1,600 are other civilian employees.

Scotland spends ~£163 million a year on it, and the annual spend generated by the base in the local area comes to just over £270 million per year, including spending in the local economy. So it looks like it has a multiplier of about ~1.65 when considering only Scotland, not great, not terrible.

I'm not sure how much the UK government pays into that though.

A guy on my train has just said three times that [inaudible] people are just naturally more clever than [inaudible] people. Driving me mad that I can’t make it out.

The less clever ones are apparently “sultry” and “good at massage”!


Edit: ooh he’s just said “think what muscles you use and what you don’t, trudging through the jungle”. I don’t think we’re going to be friends.
