Such a shame for who? It is the duty of any Government (and the majority of Labour MPs know this) this it is the priority of any government to protect their citizens. Most people support the renewal of Trident over anything else. Of course you get nutters like Corbyn who disagree, but they are in the minority and will never get into power, anyway. Even their own MPs don't support their leader. That should tell you something.
First, yes the MPs not supporting their leader does tell you something. In essence, it tells you what's wrong with the Labour Party! If I want a Tory MP I'd rather vote for a real one; Coke is better than Tesco Cola.
Second, I'm not convinced that most people do support the renewal of Trident, particularly when they actually think about it. We are simply bring told that by the Government, the very people who told us most people wanted to stay in Europe.
Third, yes, it's a prime duty of any Government to protect its citizens, but who is it protecting them from? I hope it isn't France or China, they will already have their own response on our soil if we back Hinkley!
