Just the ticket for modern day threats.

Well, the threats from our foreign buddies that want us to buy into their snazzy new weapons platforms anyway.

Trident, never mind it's like replacement is of little use in the threats we face nowadays. We still need something like it though to cover any little boys who grow up in the next few decades.

I think we should look at ways of extending the life of Trident rather than looking at replacing the whole thing. We could increase it's substrategic role for a start and look at ways to reduce it's cost in this modern world. Do we really need at those boats and the, smallish, amount of warheads we have on each boat? Why are we ramping up our nuclear development capability when we don't really have anyone to use them on?

And what exactly do they mean by Brown is expected to signal. Read more here on Brown sounding like he wants to spend more of our money.
