Jeremy Corbyn: 'We will vote with the SNP on Trident'

The new leader of the Labour Party says he is prepared to work with the SNP against the renewal of Trident.

Jeremy Corbyn said he was opposed to nuclear weapons and said the money to replace them could be better spent to the advantage of the wider economy.

Speaking to BBC Scotland's David Porter, he said the issue would be debated at his party's annual conference which takes place at the end of September.

Stewart Hosie, deputy leader of the SNP, welcomed the news, but said Mr Corbyn had "a substantial challenge" in persuading his party conference and his shadow cabinet of its merits.
