    Right decision made. The whole thing was confusing but it became clear to me over the last few days that this Jolly amendment was the way forward.

    A totally unfair characterisation. We are now committed to vote against Trident next year, and have rejected unilateralism in favour of multilateralism.

    Well done Conference!

    Back to the same question, Toby Fenwick. What multilateralism?

    Thanks Paul

    Tim, happy to discuss.
