Welcome to The Counter‑Insurgency, the Substack‑exclusive companion podcast to The Insurgency with Steve Baker. Every two weeks, Steve, Harry and political consultant Laura Emily Dunn analyse the week’s events through the lens of the principles of a free society.
This week, the team is joined by Voice for Freedom Eve Lugg to unpack John Healey’s shock resignation as Defence Secretary, what it reveals about Labour’s priorities on defence and security, the coming by‑election, and whether Sir Keir Starmer can keep control of his party and government.
A free preview of The Counter-Insurgency is available on our YouTube channel, Spotify and Apple Podcasts:
