Strange thing to make a priority right now Boris

Feeding starving children who are from low-income families? We can't afford that!

Giving the NHS a decent pay rise? We can't afford that!

Helping the most vulnerable to ensure that they're financially secure? We can't afford that!

Oh, but we can afford to spend more on nuclear weapons, building our PM are £9 million bunker under Whitehall, plus a nearly £3 million news conference room, plus increasing defence spending to £16.5 billion. We can do all of this, but don't you dare ask to feed children, to pay the NHS well, or to help the vulnerable, because we can't afford that!

The world has enough nukes to destroy the world 140 times over... why is having more such a priority??? The UK already has 215 which is enough to destroy civilization 2 times over so why do they need more? We should be reducing the global nuclear arsenal not increasing it.
