"The SNP has a long and proud history of opposing nuclear weapons of mass destruction and nuclear power generation in Scotland and beyond. The continued presence of these immoral weapons in Scotland highlights the foreign policy hypocrisy of the UK Government who have supported wars and foreign invasions based on false pretexts.

“I have no doubt that an independent Scotland would ensure the end of these horrific weapons and the money used to maintain them instead invested in health, education, housing and ending the scandal of poverty which is a blight on our entire community.”
