The British military is putting “diversity over national defence,” according to GB News host Patrick Christys.

Mr Christys’ remarks come after The Sun revealed this week that a Trident missile dramatically misfired and crashed into the sea near the nuclear submarine from which it was launched from.

This is the second misfire in a row, following the failed launch in 2016.

“It is absolutely shocking – it’s the second failure in a row,” Mr Christys told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

“We are now, genuinely, putting diversity over national defence. It’s absolutely remarkable. So, yes, I’m sure Putin is quaking in his boots.”
