Why not just pretend we are renewing Trident but in reality spend the money on housing and infrastructure projects? None of our enemies would ever be completely sure we didn't have them, so we would get the benefit of a deterrent for free.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment
