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!

Toby, Not intentional. Was done in a rush as you would imagine. I will rephrase it.

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

Thanks Paul

Tim, happy to discuss.
