Andy Burnham has called for Britain to hold a fresh debate on worldwide
nuclear disarmament in the wake of Russia ’s invasion of Ukraine. It
comes as the US rejects Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for a no-fly zone, as
well as a suggestion of giving Polish fighter jets to tackle Russian
bombing raids, for fear it would escalate the conflict. The Mayor of

of support for the UK’s nuclear deterrent of Trident missiles, kept
continuously at sea in Vanguard submarines.
