Labour MP Nick Thomas-Symonds underlines the importance of conducting a strategic defence review if his party takes office next.
Pointing to global threats, including issues in the Middle East, the ongoing Ukraine conflict, and challenges in the Red Sea, Thomas-Symonds pushes for a thorough assessment of resources to guarantee national security.
