ANDY Burnham's commitment to spend more than £8 billion on new nuclear submarines, putting the Trident missile system at the heart of his government's spending plans, has been slammed as a "woeful" approach.
Burnham on Tuesday travelled to Barrow-in-Furness to launch the next phase of Westminster's £31bn submarine replacement programme, which was further committed to under Keir Starmer after being drafted in 2007.
