Yesterday's Channel 4 News/Populus opinion poll showing up to 75% of the population are opposed to renewal or in favour of a delay demonstrates that the priority for the government should be launching a renewed diplomatic initiative to seek a breakthrough in disarmament and non-proliferation negotiations, as it has taken a lead in relation to such global challenges as climate change and acute poverty.
We urge your readers to visit www.rethinktrident.org.uk, read the compelling evidence for a delay in the process and lobby their MP's to support a delay amendment.
