That FT gift link will expire, obvs.
Did I mention nuclear submarines? That's what they build in Barrow-in-Furness.
There's a bit of stretch to believe that ways of getting the money from new jobs spent locally (the skilled new employees are coming in from a long way away) can deeply benefit the existing local people, some of whom are third- generation workless.

"the only reason for the "UK" part of #AUKUS is that the Brits expect to make a profit out of it."

Strongly disagree. Without the "UK" part of AUKUS we would never be able to make Wand of Orcus jokes.

Think of all the #teachers and #nurses that could be trained for $368 billion. Think of all the hospitals that could be built for $368 billion. Think of all the #green energy infrastructure that could be built for $368 billion. Think of all the #homelessness and #poverty that could be overcome with $368 billion.

Instead, #Australia decides to acquire #nuclear powered submarines for $368 billion.

At least someone is speaking out, albeit far too late.

Good morning with a beautiful #map by @ConGeostrategy on #AUKUS power projection in the #Indopacific. If you color Russia the same as China, you‘ll get the #Dragonbear power projection in the #Arctic and #IndoPacific too. #India 🇮🇳 will be key to both geopolitical constellations.

"Multiple sources said they believed the UK had succeeded in its bid to sell British-designed nuclear submarines to Australia, a deal that will safeguard the long-term future of the shipyard at Barrow-in-Furness."

She’s running Aust’s most expensive and ‘strategically important’ project, ever, for 900k pa. I’m going to jail for life.

One of us did our jobs. One of us told the truth.

"Nearly 18 months after unveiling the #AUKUS agreement, the federal #government is preparing to announce exactly how it plans to acquire #nuclear-powered #submarines. But just weeks out from the major #update, there are #signs that support in the #UnitedStates might be wavering, with #political division over the best way of avoiding #Australia's looming capability gap. North #America correspondent Jade Macmillan spoke to members of congress on both sides of the aisle about the path ahead."

@j - I read that she's lobbed into a plum role overseeing #AUKUS nonsense.

Demonstrates the the Peter Principle can be broken.

"In a sign of the growing trilateral cooperation with Tokyo, Austin said #Japan would also be invited 'to integrate into our force posture initiatives in Australia'."
