Sir Ed Davey thinks the UK should build a “fully independent [nuclear] deterrent”, presumably involving British missiles, rather than use American Trident missiles which are currently the delivery vehicle for British nukes.
Do you agree with him?

Fair points. But defence might be a sensible thing to spend money on, in a world where stronger powers (Russia, US, Israel) are deciding to attack weaker powers (Ukraine, Iran, Palestine) just because they feel like it
Sure. But is billions on something we already have (but need the USA to help maintain) really the best use of defence spending? Because I bet there are a hundred other areas in defence where disentangling ourselves from the USA would be wise.
Yes, because they are being used to defend against the person supplying your weapons.
