Yes keep the nuclear deterrent, buy a system from the USA, or B&Q or whoever - lets say £5 billion.

There you go then, £15 billion saved. Sorted.

Of course, didn't Clegg promise the DibLems would do just that when elected? Funny how that's all gone quiet now they share power.

Trident is American and we buy the missiles and a large part of the submarine from them. £20Bn is a cheap insurance policy spread over 25 years.
