So confirmed its decision has been delayed a further 5 years beyond this govt.

Secondly it states the trident cost has raised from £28billion to low £30billion. So how come anti trident speak out of £35billion of cost and they could spend that on weak fare etc instead. They have their sums out by a factor of >4x so why is this?
If. It is "only" £30billion for 50 years use that's very good value.
