After just eight months in his role, Defence Secretary John Healey is dealing with one of the most challenging in-trays in the cabinet.

On today’s podcast, Niall Paterson talks to ex-armed forces minister James Heappey who worked with Healey when he was in opposition, and to Malcolm Chalmers who focuses on UK defence and security at the think-tank RUSI about the challenges the defence secretary faces.
