Renewal of Trident

I applaud Nigel Griffiths decision to stand down as deputy leader of the commons as he prepares to vote against the renewal of Trident.
Its a principled stand and the right one. Like Nigel I want a world protected by peacemaking not simply the absence of war created through fear.
I will be at the vigil on the Mound in Edinburgh at 6pm on Wednesday 14th as the vote goes to the house of commons.
I can't decide what distresses me more. That the leadership of my party is proposing to renew Trident or that the vote will carry on Tory support. Its bad enough promoting weapons of mass destruction but to get them through the commons on the back of Tory votes is particularly insidious.
