A £4bn project to help replace nuclear-armed Trident submarines on the Clyde has been branded as “unachievable” for the third year running by a UK government watchdog.
These include building new facilities at the Faslane nuclear base, near Helensburgh, and dismantling nuclear submarines at Rosyth in Fife. The construction of the entire future nuclear-powered fleets of submarines – Astute, Dreadnought and Aukus – was also rated amber.
So, the SNP are trying to call out the UK government by saying, “It is disappointing but not surprising that the MoD seems to be totally unable to manufacture a replacement for Trident in a timely or cost-effective manner,” SNP MSP Keith Brown. Lets not mention the Ferries then Mr Brown! The Dreadnought project is a difficult and ambitious project, and yes it is expensive, but it will protect the UK for decades once in-service. This article in the Ferret is littered with mistakes. Don’t believe everything you read people. Especially not when it comes from the radical, misinformed and often violent, left wing media or the SNP. The SNP want an independent Scotland and would very merrily throw open all our borders and disband our armed forces. Their radical left wing socialist governance will be the ruin of us all.
