I do wish Michael White would get it right (Trident opposition and Syria retreat are symptoms of a global Brexit, 4 November).
I made no intervention into the debate at the Scottish Labour party conference on Trident. I did not have to, for our union’s Scottish leaders were upholding Unite’s policy. That is, the jobs and communities of our members come first, and until and unless meaningful alternative work is on offer we will support the continuity of their employment.
The policy debated then in Perth mirrored Unite’s stance – jobs and communities first – so we backed it. For those concerned to respect accuracy, the full Unite policy can be found on our website.
If there is a hot water tap running, as Michael puts it, it is one of disinformation about our positon.
