Solidarity MSP Tommy Sheridan has called on the Scottish public to make Labour pay for introducing a replacement to Trident.  He called on all scots who oppose the renewal of the missile system to vote only for parties who will vow to scrap them:

"On May 3rd the people of Scotland can show Labour, and their friends the tories, that we do not want £76 billion spent on weapons of mass destruction."

The Co-Convenor of Scotland's fastest growing political party added that Scots want to see the vulnerable, the young and the old looked after before spending money on weapons to kill others.

"This money could be spent on providing decent pensions, student grants, affordable housing for rent or a fair minimum wage of £8.50 per hour.  It is morally and politically wrong to waste £76 billion on this."
