With conflict continuing in the Middle East and defence spending under renewed scrutiny in Westminster, General Sir Richard Barrons joins The Daily T to discuss whether the UK is moving quickly enough to meet the demands of a more dangerous world.
Sir Richard argues that Britain is not defenceless, but that its armed forces are too small and too slow to adapt to the scale of today’s risks.
In the interview, he sets out why the UK should be investing billions more in defence now, not later, and warns that the pace of change is falling behind the pace of the threat. He also explains why the debate is no longer only about spending targets, but about national choices, public priorities and the need to build greater mass, resilience and readiness across the armed forces.
