Is Cameron thinking of ditching Trident?

Michael White at his Guardian blog once again looks at the vexed question of whether we should ditch Trident?

The subject has been brought up on a number of occassions on this blog as a way of making a rather large contribution to lowering public debt.

It wouldn't be a clean break, whoever decides it is time for imperial Britain to call it a day.

But there are signs that the Tories are looking at the issue quite seriously

Cameron let the nuclear cat out of the bag at yesterday's press conference when he placed the issue within the wider need for a defence review when he takes power and assesses the battered-but-still-functioning state of UK armed forces.
