    1. Lots of replies saying that Starmer would appear weak if he said he wouldn't fire them and that the point of a deterrent is that he has to say that, yes, he would fire nukes. Wouldn't it be stronger then for him to go against the answer that he "has" to give? @PolitlcsUK/1797573818761822651

    Clearly the media class think there is a correct answer to the question of whether he would be prepared to fire nuclear weapons. Isn't the stronger response to give the answer that they don't want to hear?

      Call me a leftist contrarian but I'm less likely to look up to someone who explicitly says they would unleash nuclear hellfire on other human beings.
