Theresa May has said a shadow cabinet row over Trident shows Labour cannot be “trusted” to defend the country.
The PM claimed a Labour government would not be “unequivocally committed to the nuclear deterrent”.
Shadow defence secretary Nia Griffith rebuked her colleague Emily Thornberry for suggesting Trident could be subject to a review, if Labour won power.
Jeremy Corbyn said Labour’s manifesto was “very clear” and the party was committed to Trident’s renewal.

But Mrs May said: “They would not be able to defend this country. A Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour government could not be trusted with the defence of our country.”
The Conservatives said it showed Labour had a “chaotic and divided team” who would make “a mess … of our Brexit negotiations”.
