It would be interesting to see a list of how much each of our European allies are spending on Trident or its equivalent. Just as it would be nice to see a list of how many troops each of our European allies has at the moment in Afghanistan.

I am all for defending ourselves, but I sometimes think the UK carries more of the burden of defending the "Free World" than other countries.

If the likes of France, Germany, Italy and Spain are spending billions on Trident, then so should we.
