We don't have any nukes based in the UK, so why would we want US ones here? Our nukes are located anywhere in the world, that's why we have subs.

As for the US in the Philippines, it is a strategic location for the US. They would not be there if they did not have something to protect, in this case keeping a close eye on China. The side effect is that the Philippines get some protection, the US is not there to protect them though.
