Trident fury: As Scotland is hit by public service cuts, UK government report calls for £130 billion nuclear replacement

The article further states that the cost of the Trident successor programme would be £130 billion, which is a massively inflated figure from what the report itself found, £20-30 billion over a period of twenty years.
