What happens when former ministers, top military chiefs, and security experts are thrown into a simulated crisis room to face the unthinkable: a Russian attack on the UK?
Join us in The Observer newsroom on Tuesday 22 July for an exclusive behind-the-scenes event on The Wargame, the podcast series from Sky News and Tortoise Media.
Together, we'll lift the lid on how a cast of real-life political and military heavyweights - from Sir Ben Wallace (as prime minister), Jack Straw (foreign secretary), Amber Rudd (home secretary), to General Sir Richard Barrons (chief of the defence staff) - were thrust back into their old roles to confront a fictional Kremlin, revealing how decisions are made when the stakes couldn't be higher.
Join us alongside wargame architects and participants as we unpack how the scenario was crafted, what it exposed about the UK's resilience, and why now - amidst mounting geopolitical tensions, the UK's Strategic Defence Review and a major NATO summit - these questions matter more than ever. Offering a rare glimpse into the minds of those who would lead Britain through its darkest hours, we'll ask...are we truly prepared for war?
