Time for nation building?

Public First's Jeegar Kakkad joins the herd to challenge the assumption that Britain can meet growing security threats without making difficult political and economic choices

Britain knows the world is becoming more dangerous. The question is whether our politics is prepared to admit it.

This week, we ask whether Westminster is still fighting yesterday’s battles while the world moves on. Public First’s Jeegar Kakkad joins us to examine why defence and national security remain peripheral to political debate, despite growing global instability, as well as consider what a serious programme of national resilience might look like, and whether a new politics of nation building could offer an answer to both international insecurity and domestic stagnation.

This is a conversation about security, sovereignty, leadership and the choices Britain may no longer be able to avoid.

We’d love to hear what you think - get in touch!
