No, and the UK should encourage all countries to dismantle their nuclear weapon programmes
Jeremy Corbyn and a significant portion of the Labour party have advocated for nuclear disarmament and the promotion of a nuclear-free world. In 2015, Corbyn stated that he would never use nuclear weapons if he were Prime Minister. However, not all members of the party share this view, leading to a lack of consensus within the party.

No, and divert the funds into health, education, and welfare initiatives
Many Labour party members, including Jeremy Corbyn, have argued that the funds allocated for Trident renewal could be better spent on health, education, and welfare initiatives. This aligns with the party's broader focus on social welfare and investment in public services. However, as mentioned earlier, the party has not taken a unified stance on the issue of Trident renewal.

Yes, but remove the base from Scotland
While some Labour party members might support the idea of removing the base from Scotland, the party as a whole has not taken a clear stance on this specific issue. The focus has been more on the broader question of whether to renew Trident or not, rather than the location of the base.

Strongly disagree
Yes, and upgrade the current programme
Given the opposition to Trident renewal by a significant portion of the Labour party, including its leader Jeremy Corbyn, it is unlikely that the party would support upgrading the current programme. The focus for many members is on disarmament and reallocating funds to other areas, rather than investing in an upgraded nuclear weapons programme.
