Ep 6. Has Labour abandoned progressive internationalism?

Can Labour deliver a genuinely progressive foreign policy in an increasingly dangerous world? For the last episode of this series, host Zoe Swanwick is joined by Monica Harding MP and IPPR's Laura Chappell, to discuss Britain’s approach to international development, defence, global security, and the future of the rules-based order. They look at whether cuts to international development represents a betrayal to progressive causes, if nuclear reamarment is something to be squeamish about, and what the point of international law is if you don’t have the diplomatic heft to back up your words. Can a values-based foreign policy really deliver on the national priorities demanded by the public while balancing the competing state interests who do not share those principles?
