Julie to vote against Trident replacement

Julie Morgan MP has announced that she will be voting against the replacement of Trident when the House of Commons debates the issue this Wednesday.

Julie said: "I do not believe that replacing Trident will make the world a safer place. I do not see how we can urge countries like Iran not to develop nuclear weapons when we continue to do so ourselves.

"I believe the vast amount of money spent on this project could be put to better, more positive uses; and I will therefore be voting against."

Julie made her announcement in the wake of a consultation period with her constituents, including a packed-out public meeting in Whitchurch which was against renewal.
