UK Foreign Secretary says ready to hit nuclear button if needed 

The UK Foreign Secretary - who looks increasingly likely to succeed Boris Johnson in the top office - tonight said she was "ready" to hit the nuclear button if needed - even though it would mean "global annihilation," Report informs, citing The Mirror.

"I think it's an important duty of the Prime Minister, and I'm ready to do that," she said at a hustings event in Birmingham when she was quizzed by host John Pienaar about the daunting decision she could face.
