Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, is set to address the party's spring conference, advocating for the UK to establish an independent nuclear deterrent. He argues that reliance on the United States, particularly under Donald Trump's presidency, is no longer viable. Davey emphasizes the need for the UK to manufacture and maintain its own nuclear weapons, despite the significant financial costs involved.
