Does anyone want to speculate on what various PMs would have ordered in their Trident Letters of Last Resort?

The letters are locked in a safe aboard the submarine and destroyed, unopened, every time a new prime minister comes into office.

It's not known exactly what they say.

"There are only so many options available," says Prof Seligmann

"Do nothing, launch a retaliatory strike, offer yourself to an ally like the USA or use your own judgement.

"Essentially, are you going to use the missiles or not?"

Tony Blair reportedly "turned white" when he was told he had to write the letters when he became PM.
