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. The Wargame, available on Sky and Now, is based on the hugely successful Sky News podcast of the same name. You can find the podcast series wherever you get your podcasts. #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #UKnews #defence #TheWargame #Skynews #News #ThisisWhy SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us o
