Summary
If Britain really faces a growing military threat, why has no one made the case clearly enough to the public? After the resignations of two defence ministers heap fresh pressure on Keir Starmer, James opens up a bigger, more serious conversation about national security, cyber warfare, Russia, NATO and whether the UK is truly prepared for what may be coming. If the danger is real, what exactly should more defence spending pay for? This episode was recorded on the 12th of June.
