Is Britain too weak to defend itself?
Jonathan Gullis sits in for Ian Collins as we ask if Britain is too weak to defend itself? Shadow Defence Minister Mark Francois reacts to the major review warning the UK is not ready for war - from depleted forces and missed spending targets to the risks facing Britain’s military and NATO commitments. We then turn to Labour’s growing civil war as Green councillor Martin Abrams joins us to discuss the left-wing revolt against Keir Starmer, the Tribune Group’s manoeuvres, and fresh infighting across Labour and Your Party ahead of their inaugural conference. Independent councillor John Edwards weighs in on the row over St George’s flags after a police chief branded them “tools of division," amid soaring public anger and renewed debate over national identity, policing and asylum reform.
