Warheads Revisited – Inside the Integrated Defence Review
What’s in the mammoth 114-page Integrated Review of Britain’s defence and foreign policy? Should we really be putting aircraft carriers in the South China Sea and lifting the caps on nuclear warheads? And can the Government really re-tilt Britain from Europe to the “Indo-Pacific”? Plus, what will be the fallout from the murder of Sarah Everard and the Met’s disastrous mishandling of a subsequent vigil for policing and women’s safety?
Our special guests are Sophia Gaston, Director of the British Foreign Policy group, and former senior advisor to Tony Blair John McTernan.
“This review is a totally clean break from the polarised rhetoric of the Brexit era… This is not a pieces of boosterish British exceptionalism. ” – Sophia Gaston
“Nuclear decisions are never just about the deterrent. They’re about how you’re perceived at the top table.” – Cath Haddon
“Britain wants to be the leading European presence in the Indo-Pacific region… And that means some negotiation with the EU to say the least.” – Sophia Gaston
“This doesn’t feel like a properly authored policy. It’s cut and paste. It’s gesture.” – John McTernan
Presented by Bronwen Maddox with Cath Haddon and Alex Thomas. Audio production by Alex Rees. Inside Briefing is a Podmasters Production for the IfG.
