two members of the shadow cabinet have publicly disagreed over labour's stance on trident. emily thornberry, said the party could abandon its support for the nuclear deterrent after a review. but the shadow defence secretary, nia griffith, described labour's position as "settled". ms thornberry was being interviewed on lbc radio. can you say to me that trident will continue as labour party policy? because you can't, can you? no, of course not. if you're going to have a review, you have a review. so it is possible thatjeremy corbyn as prime minister could drive through a policy of ditching trident? the policy is — labour party policy is that we - i know what it is. i'm asking could it in the future change? but overwhelmingly, we need to make sure that our policy is up to date and meets 21st century threats. no—one can disagree with that, surely. well, with all due respect, emily is not the shadow defence secretary, i am. we had a long meeting on thursday in which we agreed the manifesto. nobody has raised the issue of removing trident nuclear deterrent from our manifesto. tha
