This is a disgraceful response from @JoSwinson. Not for the 1st time in this general election, she confirms she's ready to press the nuclear button. Not even a moment's hesitation about the prospect of killing millions of people. We need better than this#ITVDebate #VoteOutNukes pic.twitter.com/W84cuLTuoy— CND (@CNDuk) 19 November 2019
*****************
THE Lib Democrat leader Jo Swinson has been heavily criticised by CND and others for saying that she would press the nuclear button if she became the next Prime Minister. During an interview with itvNEWS, she was asked: "Would you ever be prepared to use a nuclear weapon?" Without any hesitation, Swinson says "Yes." The female interviewer then replies: "That was a brilliant short answer, thank you very much."
She was then asked: "Which world leader would you call first, if you became Prime Minister?"
Swinson, replies: "Jacinda Ardern".
Jacinda Ardern, the New Zealand Prime Minister, opposes the use of nuclear weapons and supports nuclear disarmament. Despite the serious consequences of nuclear war and being capable of killing millions of people at a whim, Swinson still managed to keep a smile on her face. Is this clueless numpty head, fit to be Prime Minister?
