Bin Trident.
Too much money to replace a system we're never going to use. With more effective MOABs / cruise missiles, there is no justifictation for an un-targetted weapon that produces fallout over civilian poputations, both friendly and enemy.
I bet Bin Laden is quaking with fear that we would consider renewing Trident...
Also - chop DPA in its entirety, and restart procurement on the basis not of buying small amounts of do-it-all kit, but greater volumes of specialised, more cost effective kit (A330M should have been split as a dedicated tanker fleet and a dedicated transport fleet to minimise the costs involved):
- Eliminate most upper ranks in the RAF such that the size and structure is supportive of the assets operated
- Civilianise and outsource non-base admin functions
- Cancel A400M and buy 30 C17s now
- Buy transport-only aircraft off the shelf (A350s / 777s), maintained by BA/Virgin
- Buy more UAVs and integrate with JSF/Typhoon
- Re-establish NCO flight crew
- Cancel Nimrod and buy Poseidon...(bit late really now though)
- Ensure bases remain - it may be cheaper to "consolidate", but the flexibility is paramount
- Sort out the waste that is Annington Homes
