Britain's labour Party has decided to leave the country's nuclear weapons alone.
The opposition party's new leader, Jeremy Corbyn, opposes atomic weapons, and had said the issue would be debated at the party's annual conference, which opened on Sunday.
But after labour-supporting trade unions said they would vote to keep nuclear weapons and protect thousands of defence jobs, delegates dropped the issue from the conference agenda.
It's a setback for left-winger Corbyn, who wants the party to consider policies long considered off the political agenda, from nationalising industry to diverging on foreign policy from the US.
He said earlier on Sunday that Britain should get rid of its "weapon of mass destruction" and scrap the Trident nuclear program.
Britain has been a nuclear power since the 1950s, and both labour and Conservative Governments have consistently supported atomic weapons.
Since the 1990s, Britain's nuclear deterrent has consisted of four Royal Navy submarines armed with Trident missiles.
