The dunce of Westminster Once tipped for the highest office, Gavin Williamson is floundering as Education Secretary – and young people are paying the price.

Trident is a key component of the UK s nuclear weapons system and was acquired by the Thatcher government in the early 1980s as a replacement for the Polaris missile system. The missiles are transported on four Vanguard-class submarines which are based at HM Naval Base Clyde on Scotland s west coast. Each Trident has a range of up to 12,000km, meaning that the UK has the ability to hit targets anywhere in Russia and China, or in fact almost anywhere else in the world.
