WATCH: Corbyn won’t confirm that Labour would keep Trident

He also won’t confirm that as Prime Minister he would authorise an air strike to kill the leader of ISIS.

Kieran Mullan: Trident. Don’t do Putin’s work for him.

The idea that information about the incident in question was crucial to the Commons vote on renewal is ridiculous.

WATCH: The Prime Minister won’t say whether or not she knew about a Trident malfunction

It will therefore be concluded that she did know when she spoke in a Commons debate on the matter last July.

If we can’t afford defence, what can we afford?

Douglas Hansen-Luke: Tata Steel. Neither closure nor nationalisation make sense. Here’s a strategic alternative.

Cameron’s speech to the Scottish Conservative Conference: full text

“We need to tell voters that we’re the party that can challenge the SNP – now the only party that can challenge the SNP.”

Nicholas Mazzei: Trident is a 20th century weapon in a 21st century world. It’s out of date – so let’s ditch it.

By 2030, technology and cyber space will have changed warfare to such an extent that spending billions of pounds on nuclear weapons will look practically pre-historic.

Philip Dunne: Why Corbyn would be wrong to abandon Trident

As the Leader of the Opposition prepares to address a CND rally, we must not forget why we need our effective, efficient deterrent.

Ruth Davidson: Scottish Labour are too weak to argue for Trident – so it’s our responsibility to be strong

The Government should put the question to the House now, in the interests of national security.

Chris Grayling: Labour have demonstrated their inability to take power seriously
