Alex Phillips, sitting in for Julia Hartley-Brewer, discusses reports that Middle East allies are angry about the Labour government's handling of the conflict in Iran. Questions continue over the UK's military posture, the security of British bases overseas, and reports that cabinet minister Ed Miliband advised Keir Starmer against allowing the US to use UK bases, leading to Keir Starmer's initial refusal to allow the US to use them to launch strikes on Iran. On this episode, Brendan O'Neill argues the UK should stand “shoulder to shoulder” with our allies and confront the Iranian regime's role in the conflict. Rear Admiral Chris Parry assesses the state of UK defence capability, including the readiness of our Type 45 destroyers, threats in the Strait of Hormuz, and the wider global implications for energy security and deterrence. Former Defence Secretary Sir Liam Fox then discusses the UK's role in the world, the Chagos/Diego Garcia issue, and concerns raised by allies in Washington and the Gulf.Also: UK's rules of engagement, RAF Akrotiri and RAF Fairford, IRGC proscription, regional energy risk, and whether Britain is becoming “irrelevant and invisible” on the international stage.

Rear Admiral Chris Parry, former NATO

Hello and welcome to TLG and our Full Flaps interview with Chris Parry, a RN Observer on HMS Antrim's Wessex 3, known as Humphrey. Chris is a fascinating character, and some of the stories he tells us here about what went on down south during the Falklands Conflict 40 years ago, defy belief, not least the insertion and rescue of an SAS party on the Fortuna Glacier on South Georgia in the most unbelievably treacherous conditions. The fact that Chris also fired the first shots of the war to disable the Argentine submarine the Santa Fe is almost a footnote. The interview is full of the most incredible anecdotes, and it's also fascinating to hear Chris's thoughts on the current state of the British military 40 years on, and his views on the developing situation in Russia. We recorded Chris's interview on April 20th 2022, 40 years to the day since he and the crew of Humphrey were briefed for that extraordinary operation involving the SAS which would take place just hours later. Hold onto your hats and settle in for an utterly riveting ride.
