Mr Brown tried to ease fears and said that as well as ensuring a low and stable rate of inflation, he also wanted stable industrial relations, a competitive tax regime and a predictable and light-touch regulatory environment.

Mr Brown underlined his growing authority as prime minister-in-waiting - by unexpectedly announcing that he is committed to ensuring Britain retains its independent nuclear deterrent, a move that could cost the taxpayer between £13bn and £25bn.
Between 13 and 25 Billion means of course 120 Billion come end of upgrade.
Thats a lot of hard working taxapyers money , up in smoke !!!
And how may US companies will have their nose in the UK nuclear trough ???

You won't be saying that when aliens invade and we need those missiles to destroy the motherships and save the world. Money well spent then.

Surely we could still destroy the Alien ships if we bought some surplus off the shell Soviet Missiles, I know a bloke down the pub who can get you SS22s for 200 quid a pop,I guess youll find them on Ebay for even cheaper prices, far more cost effective solution.Comment

Couldnt we save hundreds of billions of pounds by simply stealing an alien space ship, going up to the mothership and infecting it with a nasty virus?
Oh and also leaving behind a nuke to kill em all!

What you mean is the government have invested an extra £6000 per family since they came to power.
Excellent progress and I'm sure we'll see the investment increase again soon.
