Going by the latest PMQ's, the "Magic money tree" is in for a damn good shakin. One important factor for the F-35 is cost / capability. Interesting that the capability, and technology transfer, value of the F-35 to the UK could be retained without the ongoing cost of the carriers, if the carriers are scrapped. Certainly, a likely possibility for an insolvent UK.

Oh yes! I get your drift...we have spent £Billions on the wrong capability, let's just carry-on spending more £Billions!
Well, it isn't going to happen. Even without a regime change in the UK, the plug on the magic money tree is going to get pulled pretty soon and those floating Gin palaces are going to be scrapped.
