Keir Starmer and his advisers have come to the conclusion that what makes us all insecure is imagined threats from Russia, China and North Korea, and the answer is to plough huge sums of money into new military hardware and encourage the general public to prepare for war.
Dr Kate Hudson, who chaired the CND working party whose Alternative Defence Review was published last month, casts a more serious eye over the existential threats we actually face, from creeping authoritarianism to climate breakdown and ecocide, and suggests that we should direct our efforts and resources more wisely.
