Poll:

How much will the new UK submarines overrun their initial price by 2035?

0% - on budget under a fiscally-responsible Labour
100% - Overruns are to be expected
300% - Nothing to see here
500% - If we pull out, they'll sue

U.S. controls on sensitive defense exports, relaxed for AUKUS partner Australia last year, still apply to submarines, creating hurdles to defense industry collaboration on U.S. Virginia-class sub production. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/15/asia-pacific/aukus-nuclear-sub-us-trade-controls/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #aukus #us #defense #submarines #china #donaldtrump

Women who want to “spend a penny” in public conveniences will soon be freed from the tyranny of the turnstiles installed by many local councils. However, sixty-nine councils have so far refused to agree to the government’s suggestion of removing the turnstiles while eighteen councils are undecided.
