Andy Burnham on Trident and defence costs
Andy Burnham visited the BAE Systems shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness to promote the next phase of the £31 billion Dreadnought-class nuclear submarine programme, emphasizing its role in national security and community revitalization. The new contracts, worth £8.4 billion, aim to support 18,000 jobs and create 22,000 apprenticeships by 2035, as part of efforts to boost UK defense and reindustrialize the country. Burnham reaffirmed his support for the Trident renewal, highlighting its importance for security and employment, while avoiding specific commitments on NATO defense spending targets.
