This is part 1 of 2 podcasts recorded at our talk Trump and Vance - with friends like these, who needs enemies? Covering UK defence and geopolitical ruction in the era of America First foreign policy were a hugely qualified panel and erudite new host. So much detailed ground was covered that we’ve been unable to distill things down to the usual half hour podcast and so episode 1 presents the entire panel discussion, whilst episode 2 will feature the audience questions and panel toolbox. Our panel featured General Sir Tim Radford, former Deputy Supreme Commander NATO Europe, Ana Juncos Garcia, Professor of European Politics at the University of Bristol and Richard Graham, former MP and diplomat who chaired the Westminster Foundation for Democracy and was a member of the Joint Committee for National Security. Our host was Colin Gavaghan, Professor of Digital Futures in the Bristol University Law School.
