Labour has called for assurances over the effectiveness of Britain’s nuclear deterrent after “concerning” reports about a Trident missile test failure.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed an “anomaly occurred” during an exercise that took place on January 30 on board the nuclear-powered submarine HMS Vanguard.
Officials said they could not say any more because the incident relates to national security.
But they said there remained “absolute confidence” in Britain’s constant at-sea nuclear deterrent and that it continues to be “secure and effective”.
TalkTV’s Jeremy Kyle and Rosie Wright are joined by The Sun’s defence editor Jerome Starkey, who broke the story.

Whilst hms vanguard was in refitt there was another unclear sub under the sea doing its job ,we have 4 of these subs with new ones being built now ,that tv presenter is proper thick
actually the American made rocket that failed the British sub seemed to do the job OK
I’d call this a deliberate genius attempt to convince Russia that our nuclear defences are abysmal but I don’t think the Tories are competent enough to even consider the idea.
You mean north Korea missile are better than that of UK.
Let ask are we really save?
Kim jon une right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They probably did it on purpose so they could justify upgrading all the nukes ,military industrial complex got to make that money .
Omg. What an embarrassment. 😂😂😂
You have to ask for advice from Russia, because Russia technology is the best.
Russia is way ahead In nuke technology, and as well space deterrent,the USA is worried because they are not ready to defend themselves against a nuclear strike from Russia. Remember when Putin were saying that they were developing a advanced weapons, the American were laughing they thought that it was a dream of Putin. Now we know that Putin were no joking because they have developed the most lethal weapons in the world, that even the United States is trying to copy from them.
You don't prepare for exams while the examination paper is on the writing desk, 😂😂
Is this an episode of "Yes Minister/Prime minister?… PM: So it comes back to Trident. Benard: When it comes. PM:When it comes! Benard: If it works. PM: If it works? Benard: When the new weapons are delivered, the warheads don't fit the ends of the rockets…Brilliant.
Too much time on a sub and the phalluses does go a bit flat.
Totally unreliable and if it's in the west atlantic the country of the Sunak is a sitting duck
I'd have thought in Woke World, they'd have engineered a new Trident III, which resembled a doughnut, rather than a pointy tube… 🍩
Britannia rules the waves. 😂😂
a challenge to British military power
And britain thinks they could go to war with russia 😂😂😂😂😂😂 We couldn't fight our way of paper bag
Ohh look daddy how much did those cost, i know son a bit crap for a firework innit son?!!.
As an old soldier ive always been of the belief that its NOW WELL PAST THAT TIME, WE MUST, I REPEAT WE MUST START TO REBUILD THE BRITISH ARMS INDUSTRY AND BUILD OUR OWN AIRCRAFT, NO MORE FOREIGN MADE DEFENCE EQUIPMENT, IT MUST BE BRITISH MADE!!.
They just trying to fool putin
Lookslike the Trident has a higher failure rate than the JL3.
Continue doing LGBTQ while China marches on.
From a country that claim that the Russian stuff is inferior to NATO !! what a joke !!!
This utter clown , doesn't know what the hell he is talking about , to claim this British crap is the most advanced missile in the world , he needs to lay off the drugs !!!
If I remember correctly, the 2018 launch ended up with the missile taking a 180 degree turn and flying toward the United States, as opposed to landing in the Atlantic Ocean. That could have triggered a nuclear WW3. And, so, this one landed next to the submarine that launched it. Where's the next test rocket going to go?!
