Rupa Huq just nailed this government in Parliament.

"This is a government of Friends with benefits and Mates rates..."

When you say nailed did Rupa back this up with actual evidence or just say those exact words?

Plenty of evidence out there of this from Grayling's Ferry company to Jenrick's bungs. As well as others.

As she's said it in parliament it won't be covered by the media as much as Boris making a funny at PMQ's.

Trident is a one off cost, it’s not like the Coutinho money that refreshes every year.

Does it not cost anything to run or maintain? How about decommissioning costs at end of service?

Of course, about £2bn a year, or enough to give nurses a £143 a month pay rise each.

It then boils down to do you want the UK to have an independent nuclear deterrent or not.

These Tory voters must walk around with their eyes shut and fingers in their ears.

Current estimate £205 billion (and we all know how good the Party of Fiscal responsibility are good at estimating .... after all look at Track & trace)

Lifetime cost of replacing Trident is at least £205bn, latest estimate suggests

The latest estimates take into account decommissioning and other related costs of renewal

It sure won’t be cheap, but if you’re going to blow up the world and all that sail on her you can’t cut any corners

Bar needing the US to let you aim it of course :)

Couldn't we do a deal with Kim Jong-un.

So not a one-off cost at all then.
