Aah the nuke question

You can see Corbyn's pitter patter on this one. I'd stop it beforehand -> Dropping nuclear bombs is bad -> Cybersecurity

The main problem I have with the Labour manifesto is how the amount they're hoping to raise from corporation tax etc is hugely reliant on the corporations sticking around post Brexit.

Corporations aren't going to be running for the hills from the fifth/sixth largest economy in the world. They will still be more than willing to do business here. It's the banking sector that could take a hit. Even under labours plan we would still have a lower corporate tax rate than any G7 member.

it's extremely funny that david laws lost his seat to the tories after weaponising a personal joke about there being no money left to help his pals in the tory party demonise labour.

Corbyn should have had a simple answer for the Livingstone question. Ultimately expulsion is not at the gift of the Labour leader.

Thank fuck Scotland largely votes for the SNP and we have zero issues telling Trident to get to fuck. Ashamed the rUK still has such a hard-on for it.

What a stupid mistake that was lol.

Got low information voters actually believing the government had no money.

That "there's no money" note, at the time, was beyond stupid.

edit; He's caving under the retaliatory strike question. This isnt a good look.

If Britain was under imminent nuclear attack, I don't think it would matter who was in charge, tbh.
Exactly we're fucked either way and I'm not going to be in much of a position to give a shit if we retaliate or not if I've just been vapourised.

Wake up Sheeple, your boring insistence that Obama is not a lizardman from Atlantis is wearing on my patience 💤
Using a nuke anywhere (attack or counterattack) is literally shitting in your own bed. Using a nuke in retaliation is complete and utter madness.

Stupid audience ffs

Trident (both the UK and US) operational parameters are for a response within 24 hours. In an actual moment of high tension, the subs go completely dark and stop trailing the radio antenna, only re-establishing contact at fixed intervals. The UK (and the world) could be ash for hours before the me too missiles are launched.

"Are you telling me that if we dropped a nuclear bomb on the Middle East, you wouldn't ride it all the way down, swinging a cowboy hat?"

These nuclear questions are idiotic. Do they not understand that the second somebody launches a nuclear weapon, it's pretty much over? It doesn't matter how many nukes you have to respond with - it's too late, all governments have failed and people die.

Why are you worried that we don't swing our nuclear dicks at other countries?

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Corbyn should just gird his loins and say he would use it under extreme apocalyptic circumstances. He's letting himself get skewered over nothing.

Answer the bloody question Corbyn! The whole point of nuclear weapons is to act as a deterrent. If a leader refuses to use nukes then that defeats the whole point in even having them.
