What’s the plan for ‘Global Britain’? – BBC Newsnight
As the UK government announces it will lift the cap on its nuclear stockpile and the foreign secretary says he will seek trade deals with countries that violate international standards on human rights in a leaked recording, what image is the UK projecting across the world?

The UK is set to reverse plans to reduce its stockpile of nuclear weapons by the middle of the decade, as part of a foreign policy overhaul.
The overall cap on the number of warheads will now increase to 260, having been due to drop to 180 under previous plans from 2010.
The UK will shift focus towards Indo-Pacific countries, described as the world’s “growth engine”.
The news comes as Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab was heard saying the government will seek trade deals with countries that violate international standards on human rights, a leaked tape seen by HuffPost reveals.
The integrated review was more than four years in the making, so what’s the plan for Global Britain?
Newsnight’s Diplomatic Editor Mark Urban reports. Emily Maitlis is joined by Foreign Officer minister James Cleverly, former International Development Secretary, Rory Stewart, former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy under President Obama, Michele Flournoy, and Professor of Global History at Oxford University, Peter Frankopan.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

And in this course, he has locked the country down, increased taxes, supported a global tax rate, and continued importing 5% of our population each decade, ensuring we need to continue dumping ever more money into social systems.
P.S. What do we care about what the Yanks want? Two carriers can be in two places at once. So let's build 8.

As far as I can see "global Britain" means throwing an ally under the bus, if it's convenient. So if he can do that to an ally, why should anyone trust anything he say?

The plan is business and only that. We support dictators across the world and middle east whilst crowing about supporting democracy in china and russia. Tapping billions from tax payers to fund private companies to build more arms to prop up dictatorships around the world.

Anyone that would argue that the UK requires a larger nuclear stockpile, has know real idea of the horror, the current 215 warheads could dish out. Much too terrible to imagine. A reckless attempt for global relevance in the decades ahead, resulting in zero added influence over the UK's rivals [russia and/or china] and yet producing an infinitely less safe world. All this for the princely sum of 10 gazillion-million nurses and doctors, the proceeding 20 year – economic shitshow, an amazon rainforest, two icecaps, and the welfare state. Sounds like a boris plan alright.

160 nuclear warheads is just not enough, I mean wtf, we could never use that many without destroying the world. It's an embarrassing and backward move by the UK.
Fair to update them, but a reduction is the correct choice.

Get the English to blame everyone else for the government's mess will be the main policy in this new global Britain (I'll call it that because the BBC refuse to accept that the UK and England are very different things).
We will get South Sudanese style elitist corruption, Bangladesh style poverty, The freedoms of North Korea, tolerance of Nazi Germany, the economy of Venezuela and an American health service.
I sincerely hope, also, that an independent Scotland, Wales and a free Northern Ireland can rid themselves of the BBC or Westminster Broadcasting Channel as they ultimately are.
