Will Labour MPs give new Tory Prime Minister May free ride on Trident renewal Parliamentary vote? Surely not!

One of the few policies Theresa May made clear in her short Conservative leadership  campaign is that, as Prime Minister, she would immediately replace the Trident nuclear WMDs system (“Theresa May calls for urgent go-ahead on Trident replacement “, 5 July http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/04/theresa-may-calls-for-urgent-go-ahead-on-trident-replacement/)

Meanwhile the current defence secretary Michael Fallon is on the record as stating "....as a responsible nuclear weapon state and party to the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) the UK remains committed to creating the conditions for a world without nuclear weapons.”  (Written Statement made by: Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) on 20 January 2015.

On Monday next week, the Government has called a debate and vote on the future of Trident and its replacement.

Do Labour MPs ,pro-Trident  Angela Eagle included,  want to demonstrate their idea of representing their constituents’ interests next Monday is to vote with new Conservative leader to commit £205,000,000,000 (£205 billion) of their taxes to a nuclear WMD system which is highly likely to be made illegal when the United Nations General Assembly in New York adopts a motion  in September for a Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty, which has been under negotiation at the UN in Geneva for several months this year?

What an odd way to help the poor, the unemployed, the NHS and to reverse underinvestment in infrastructure voting £205 billion of taxpayers’ money for Trident replacement would be!
