We took The Wargame to Parliament on Monday for a screening and Q&A session before a group of MPs, Peers and other guests. The hope is to contribute to our national conversation on defence and resilience at a time of mounting threats - and ahead of the budget! A big thank you to General Sir Richard Barrons, @PennyMordaunt @Chris_D_Steele & @ayeshahazarika for being on the panel and to Lord Robertson for contributing your expert views as well & to @Ms_Alex_Baker for hosting the event! And to @SkyGroup and @TheGardenTV for turning The Wargame into gripping TV nowtv.com/watch/the-wargame/…
