Could Britain return to NATO nuclear sharing with B61 bombs?

Could the United Kingdom re-enter NATO nuclear sharing with American B61 bombs?

Eurofighter integration is raised as a possibility, but the proposal meets strong objections about political authorization and nuclear escalation.

Britain's F-35B does not carry nuclear weapons, while Eurofighter integration is raised as a possible route into a shared B61 pool. Clarke opposes the proposal because he expects any British nuclear release to require the prime minister's approval, with a delay before permission reaches the aircraft. He also doubts that a British politician would delegate blanket release authority before a mission. His stronger objection is escalation: he expects a tactical nuclear exchange to become strategic as each side expands its targets. His preferred investment is more conventional cruise-missile capability, including possible Type 26 modifications, together with more P-8 aircraft and supporting assets.
