section, under my    profile    [ ] don't show me this message again    ✕    trident is a divisive political issue    trident is a divisive political issue    (getty images)     labour's support for britain having nuclear weapons is    "non-negotiable", the shadow defence secretary has said.     in a speech at the royal united services institute think-tank on friday    john healey will also say the party's commitment to nato is    "unshakeable".     the speech does not represent a policy change for labour, which was    committed to renewing trident and staying in nato throughout the    leadership of jeremy corbyn.     but it does represent a difference in rhetoric and emphasis. mr corbyn    is a lifelong proponent of nuclear disarmament, and consistently made a    distinction between his personal view and the policy of the party.     he had also previously been critical of nato, though as leader he said    the alliance should refocus on reducing tensions around the world.  recommended       * blair willing to pull trident nuclear switch     mr healey, which will say the uk should instead focus on multilateral    nuclear disarmament, is also expected to use the speech to criticise    ministers' defence cuts, which he says will make the job of the    government's defence needs review harder.     he will say that "at a time of geopolitical uncertainty and    technological change" ministers must not "smother strategic    decision-making in clouds of rhetoric and hubris".     the shadow defence secretary will add: "we cannot any longer go fudging    and fumbling our way into the future, with major procurement projects    at the mercy of the illusion that 'something will turn up' to pay for    them."     the renewal of the arsenal is a divisive issue. an orb poll from 2016    found that around half (51 per cent) of the uk public favour renewal    versus a similar level of support for scrapping the system entirely or    retaining submarines without nuclear warheads (49 per cent).  uk news in pictures     show all 50  1/50uk news in pictures     (button)  uk news in pictures  31 december 2021     competitors in fancy dress run across the pennine

context of labour trying to appeal to more    conservative voters, and to show them that it is “patriotic”.  register for free to continue reading     registration is a free and easy way to support
