Britain needs Trident
This can only be done by demonstrating we have the capability to respond in kind if subjected to nuclear attack, thus making it a no-win situation for an aggressor. This deterrent has kept us safe through many years.
Some may argue that following the demise of the Soviet Union a nuclear threat no longer exists. But how can they know? Some of the states that have nuclear weapons can hardly be described as politically stable or well disposed towards the West. It would be an act of madness to deprive ourselves of the only defence possible.
