I think it would make next-to-fuckall difference
So we're agreed on that; removing the UK's nuclear deterrent would not make the world safer in terms of a nuclear strike. There are many who believe it would make us more vulnerable, and the world less safe. This is why there is a consensus among mainstream MPs that Trident should be kept.

I think it would make next-to-fuckall difference and the outcome would be catastrophic either way. The fact is that it's just not going to happen - it's a status symbol and nothing else.
It's outrageous for the UK and US to push for international nuclear de-escalation and yet hold the rest of the world to ransom with their own weapons.
Out of interest, who's going to be nuking us?
