Defence In Review Conference – 28th October 2024

Progressive Britain was delighted to hold the Defence In Review Conference on the 28th of October 2024. 

This conference was held in collaboration with KCL’s Freeman Air and Space Institute and Saab UK along with several supporting organisations from the Labour foreign policy and defence community. 

With the full-scale war in Ukraine fast approaching its third year, we discussed discuss how Western support and modern warfare techniques are impacting the conflict and how the Labour government’s unwavering support for Ukraine interacts with its domestic, mission-led agenda.  

This Conference objectives: 

• Discuss what military and technological developments and changes have occurred after over two years of full-scale war in Europe? 
• Learn how can Labour rise to meet the defence and security challenges faced in Europe throughout this parliament and work with our allies?
• Examine how achieving Labour’s defence and foreign policy aims can and will contribute to the party’s broader domestic missions.
• Encourage Labour parliamentarians to think about the UK and Europe’s defence and foreign policy challenges.
• Build networks amongst Labour parliamentarians and both the defence/foreign policy and international community.
