UK spend over £12bn a year on foreign aid every year, so cost could easily be covered by knocking this in half.
A lot of the infrastructure and support jobs are in Northern England and Scotland, so the money feeds back into the UK economy. Warheads are designed and maintained at RWE in Southern England.
It tells the World we are No. 5 most powerful military in the World.
Just sign the bloody thing and get on with it. Komrade Korbyn can defect to Russia, no one would miss the nutty tw@t.

The French seem to have no problem funding, designing and running their own nuclear weapons programme.
We're talking about a few billion £££ per year, peanuts in today's money. A row of terraced houses in London costs more.

There was talk of using the D5 to deliver conventional high explosive warheads. A very costly and limited value option IMHO. There was even a suggestion that the system could deliver aid packages, or organ donations...
