The issue, nuclear defence. The venue, the Andrew Marr show, the transcript of the interview, http://
Apparently Corbyn is furious and believes senior military should be muzzled.
Is he right? And this must grate with those Labourites who believe in deterrents as to nuclear missiles. How is this going to play out?
My view is that Corbyn is barking.....

this is what Corbyn is pizhed off about....
I quote, "But the reason I say this – and it’s not based on a personal thing at all, it’s purely based on the credibility of deterrence. The whole thing about deterrence rests on the credibility of its use. When people say you’re never going to use the deterrent, what I say is you use the deterrent you know every second of every minute of every day and the purpose of the deterrent is that you don’t have to use it because you successfully
deter."

//General Sir Nicholas Houghton – Chief of the Defence Staff – has rejected free government legal advice and is understood to be one of those whose objections are holding up the inquiry//
//Questions about his record are likely to relate to the aftermath of the 2003 invasion when he held senior roles in Iraq. He gave evidence to the inquiry in 2010 when he was pressed on Britain’s decision to withdraw from southern Iraq despite a growing insurgency and concerns about corruption and violence in the British-trained police.
He was chief of joint operations in 2008 when the Iraqi military requested US rather than British assistance to retake Iraq’s second city of Basra from the militia, three months after UK forces had withdrawn from the city.//
Don't say I blame him. Blair trying to stitch up whoever he can the snake.
