## Resource

For The General & The Journalist’s first anniversary, Tom and Patrick return to the question at the heart of the podcast – is the world becoming more dangerous? Recorded live at the Nevill Holt Festival, they look at Ukraine’s fightback, Putin’s next moves, the Iran ceasefire, China’s advantage, the threat to Taiwan and the crisis in Britain’s defences. Patrick warns that we may be entering a new Cold War and Tom asks whether Britain is moving fast enough to protect itself.  Hosts: General Sir Patrick Sanders and Tom Newton Dunn Producer: Julia Webster Executive producer : Priyanka Deladia  Image: William Blakesley-Herbert What are your thoughts on the state of British defence spending?
