“We are moving towards war-readiness’ – Starmer says UK military will be 10 times more lethal thanks to talks with Zelensky.”

“We’ll scratch the Russians’ eyes out!”
The UK shut down the last of its Plutonium weapons production reactors in 1989. The last Plutonium processing facility closed more recently, but it is closed.
The UK has a significant mass of already processed Plutonium, but it is stored for safety and there is no process for accessing it for weapons, and it is in a very dangerous configuration.
Increasing their warhead count would be the most cost effective way to achieve greater military capability, but the path for that is not smooth.
