#BAESystems have now confirmed that they have won the #AUKUS contract worth nearly £4bn to develop a dedicated #submarine capacity... much of this work will come to #Cumbria. 

This looks like pretty good news for #workers in #Barrow, but the bigger Q. is whether this is the sort of #investment the UK should be encouraging?

Given this looks a lot like 'military Keynesiansim' I reflected on this issue in a piece for @264363cd
