'Lifelong member of CND' - Corbynpublished at 20:24 British Summer Time 12 May 2017
Jeremy Corbyn confirmed tonight that he remained a member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Speaking to Channel Four News, Mr Corbyn said: "I've been a member all my life".
But pressed on how that personal outlook squared with Labour's defence policy - including as it did a renewal of the Trident nuclear weapons system - he added simply: "It was voted on at Labour conference".
The Labour leader went on: "I want to see a nuclear free world and I'll do everything I can to to work through the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and point out to people the horrors of what a nuclear war means....We have a responsibility - all of us - to bring about a peaceful world. That is my priority."
