The Wargame exposes some uncomfortable truths. This Is Why

The new Sky Original TV series The Wargame imagines a terrifying situation – and not just because Michael Gove is prime minister.

Vladimir Putin and Russia haven’t yet launched a military attack on UK soil, but the threat is rising.

That’s why the show picks a fantasy crisis team of real-life former ministers and ex-military chiefs to see how they might respond to such a potential attack.

So, what does The Wargame tell us about the UK’s readiness for all-out Russian aggression?

Niall Paterson is joined by the former Labour adviser Baroness Hazarika, who plays the government’s director of communications in the programme.
