Interview - General Sir Richard Barrons

These are uncertain and changing times for UK politics and defence strategy. So much has changed — domestically and in the world at large — since the UK government released the Integrated Review and MoD Command Paper in early 2021. Shephard Media's news editor Ben Vogel sits down with General Sir Richard Barrons, former commander of the UK's  Joint Forces Command, to discuss whether the Integrated Review’s assumptions remain valid in today’s changed security and defence climate. The discussion forms part of a wider package of content delivered by the Shephard Media editorial team.
