Trident Chaos

A build up of heightened emotions surrounding the Trident renewal debate has erupted today, into an over-flow of events at Westminster.

1. Activists scaled a crane near today Westminster (BBC News)
2. A second cabinet resignation (Guardian)
3.100 MPs called for more time to make a decision, 62 of them labour (Daily Mail)
4. David Cameron sides with Tony Blair over the issue (How odd!?!)(Independent)

I have several questions about this issue, however the most important one is this:

Is everyone else crazy, Tony Blair? Or perhaps is it just you?

I think that it is pretty obvious that this one is being 'rushed through' before the PM leaves number 10. I don't think much of the chances MPs have of getting more time to make their decision.

It seems that Trident renewal is going ahead, regardless of what anyone in Westminster thinks about it.

And of course, we UK citizens have no say whatsoever.
