War Leadership: Who Should Lead Britain in a Global Crisis?
Afternoon Empire with Ian Collins
Who would best lead Britain through war? We debate the leadership question dominating UK politics as Keir Starmer faces mounting criticism from allies and opponents alike, and even jibes from Donald Trump comparing him unfavourably to Churchill.
Joining us: Katy Balls, Patrick Cockburn, Daniel Hannan, and Natasha Hausdorff.
We discuss the UK’s war readiness, the future of the UK-US special relationship, rising tensions in the Middle East, and Iran’s claim of control over the Strait of Hormuz, a development that could have huge consequences for global security, energy markets, and Britain’s role on the world stage.
Expect sharp analysis on UK defence, global conflict risk, Iran tensions, Trump vs Starmer, and Britain’s military leadership in a potential war scenario.
