Latika Takes interviews Ben Judah

This week Latika Takes: The Podcast is in London speaking with Ben Judah , who served as special advisor to former UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy. Mr Judah discusses the UK’s relationships with China, Europe, the United States and his failed attempts to kickstart a new CANZUK club, comprising Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. He discusses his fears about the debate around UK Defence Spending, the credibility gap opening up in NATO and why the UK needs to borrow Australia’s model of government to be more effective in achieving its goals. This discussion references an article published by the Financial Times detailing leaked comments by the UK’s Ambassador to the US, Christian Turner, saying Israel was the UK’s only special relationship.
