France offers to join forces with UK's nuclear submarine fleet
Officials from both countries have discussed a deterrent-sharing scheme but Britain has so far opposed the idea

France has offered to create a joint UK-French nuclear deterrent by sharing submarine patrols, the Guardian has learned.

Officials from both countries have discussed how a deterrence-sharing scheme might work but Britain has so far opposed the idea on the grounds that such pooling of sovereignty would be politically unacceptable.

Something tells me such a deal would make l3v1ck very, very happy.

Why?
Besides, such a deal is pointless, because neither side would ever launch at the request of the other. Not that we'd ever want them to!
