The defence secretary Dr Liam Fox claims that the number of Trident submarines will not be cut.
Good news, but I won't trust Dr Fox unless he provides hostages.
On a related point, notice how the BBC always has time to go running to CND (Scottish branch this time) for a quote whenever the topic is the Independent Deterrent. Funny how they never bring up the inconvenient fact that CND Scotland's leader Alan Mackinnon is a Communist. Perhaps airing that he's an adherent to an ideology responsible for the death of upwards of 100 million people and the enslavement of a sixth of the world's population might make his motives seem less than pure.
