The UK – EU defence partnership explained
from BFBS Sitrep
Keir Starmer says it puts Britain back on the world stage. Some critics claim it could drag Britain into some kind of “EU army”. Sitrep explains what is, and isn’t, included in the new 62-point defence partnership agreement, and what it might mean for our Armed Forces. Amid intense scrutiny of past actions by UK Special Forces, and a former SAS commander’s warning about the “complete absence of a workable legal framework”, how can they be better held to public account while maintaining vital secrecy in their job to keep us safe? And a reshuffle of Britain’s top brass is underway. Mike talks us through the names in the frame, what they could bring to the jobs, and the challenges they’ll face.
