ANTI-NUCLEAR campaiganers welcomed the “huge influx” of 56 anti-Trident SNP MPs yesterday ahead of the final vote on whether or not to replace Britain’s ageing nuclear weapons system.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) said the SNP’s “spectacular gains” in the general election are “a stark indicator of opposition to the Trident nuclear weapons system, which is based in Scotland.”
CND general secretary Kate Hudson said: “When Scotland has spoken as clearly as it has at the ballot box — it’s a reality check for those who believe there could be business as usual with Trident replacement.
Ms Hudson called on the government to “scrap Trident now, save £100bn, and spend taxpayers’ money on things we really need.”
