    I don’t necessarily think the UK should give up its nukes, they’re an unfortunate necessity in the world we live in

    They might well be. Also yes, I think the US treats the UK as a bit of a lapdog. I think the UK should do more to partner with European allies. Europe together has more bargaining power than the UK alone. Europe together has more leverage than the UK to say to the US “actually we’re not doing what you want us to do”.

    I think the Greens are right to oppose very wealthy people who just want to accumulate more wealth and power at the expense of everybody else. But I don’t think I agree with them if they want to “immediately begin the process of dismantling our nuclear weapons”.
