LABOUR FALLING APART ON TRIDENT IS JUST TIP OF ICEBERG

PANIC & INDISCIPLINE INCREASE AS WHEELS COME OF LABOUR’S CAMPAIGN

Commenting on the report in the Herald today that reveals 21 of 59 Labour candidates have stated their opposition to replacing Trident, the SNP’s Westminster leader and defence spokesperson, Angus Robertson, said that it was yet another sign that Labour was falling apart in the heat of the general election campaign as panic and indiscipline break out amongst its candidates.

Commenting Mr Robertson said:

“The SNP is full square behind not only opposing a replacement of Trident but scrapping the present Trident system

“In contrast it was a Labour government which put in place the decision to renew Trident.

“Many of those Labour candidates in Scotland who are now opposing that replacement are only doing so because the Labour campaign is spectacularly falling apart.

“They are in a panic and grasping for any means to get support. However the fact is their government which wants to keep Trident and their government which is trying to lumber Scotland with its replacement.

“What Scotland needs is not yet more Labour politicians lumbering us with the debt from weapons of mass destruction. Scotland needs local and national champions which will consistently stand against the waste and immorality that is Trident.”
