Tom Watson: Labour free vote on Trident 'likely'

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Labour MPs are likely to be allowed to vote with their consciences on Trident, according to their deputy leader Tom Watson. Speaking on Pienaar's Politics on 5 live he said there was "likely to be a free vote" on the issue, although the shadow cabinet had not yet made a decision. Mr Watson made it clear he was on a collision course with Jeremy Corbyn on the issue. After the Labour Leader said he would do his "persuasive best" to get Labour to back scrapping the weapon, Watson told 5 Live "Jeremy says he seeks to persuade us - I seek to persuade him too". This clip is originally from Pienaar's Politics on Sunday 27th September 2015
