💨 Abstract

Within hours of becoming Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer was tasked with writing four top-secret "Letters of Last Resort," detailing UK actions in case of a nuclear attack that decimates leadership. This duty, known as "the Nuclear Briefing," has burdened every UK Prime Minister since 1969. The Letters, kept in submarines, offer four options: do nothing, find an ally, use personal judgment, or retaliate.
