The impression I got was that he was saying we would keep Trident. The subs I believe are due for replacement, but the missile system will still be carried by the new ones. The shadow foreign (?) secretary saying that Labour wouldn't keep a nuclear deterrent, then Corbyn having to come out later the same day to say, no, it was now in the new manifesto, Labour would keep Trident (despite Corbyn having been vehemently anti-nuclear throughout his political life), and the shadow secretary of defence complaining that it's his business to state Labour's defence policy anyway, doesn't fill one with confidence in the party, especially after other recent gaffs by, and divisions between, Labour members.
So what do you do if you don't trust Labour on defence or the economy, but you don't trust the Tories for a fair society? And you think UKIP are now irrelevant? And you think the Greens are a joke? And you're concerned about how Brexit goes, but you never quite trusted the direction the EU is going in? Sometimes, I'm just so confusedĀ :\
