UK is already the sixth biggest spender on defence without this latest “upgrade”. Where is all the money going if - supposedly - we don’t have a large standing army, much of the hardware doesn’t work and it takes weeks for a military vessel to set sail? Lots of this is propaganda, of course. Maybe not upgrading all the nukes at a cost of £63 billion might shift some of the money? Maybe asking WHO is being defended would be a good starting point? (And it aint the ordinary UK citizen.)
