What role should the UK play in an increasingly volatile world and why is it vital that we commit to spending 3% of GDP on defence? As global threats evolve and international alliances are tested, it is crucial that Labour members understand the direction of our defence policy and the values that should underpin it.
Join us as we explore the implications of the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) and how Labour can shape a credible, modern approach to keeping Britain secure.
Panelists:
- Luke Akehurst MP (Chair) - MP for North Durham and Secretary of Labour First.
- Luke Pollard MP - MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport and Minister for the Armed Forces.
- Alex Baker MP - MP for Aldershot and member of the Defence Select Committee.
- Calvin Bailey MP - MP for Leyton & Wanstead, member of the Defence Select Committee and former RAF officer.
- Graeme Downie MP - MP for Dunfermline & Dollar and Chair of the PLP Backbench Defence Committee.
