with me now is richard reeve from oxford research group, the independent peace and security think—tankhe right notes, contextualising it around the war on terror and things the jewel report was saying last year. probably sufficient to lead rather than too little too late. in terms of what the leaked manifesto has been saying on defence diplomacy he said he does not look as soft as the papers have been portraying him in the past few days. boris johnson has said, he is a guy who has campaigned all his life to weaken the uk's defences. is that how many voters see him? many will see him like that because that is how he has been portrayed but there's emphasis is on less tha n portrayed but there's emphasis is on less than involvement in conflict overseas rather than neglected defence of europe or the uk. interesting he talked a lot about recent interventions, iraq, afghanistan and so on, and top about a distance thing in the relationship between london and washington. no more handholding with donald trump, he said, the labour government will conduct a robust and independent foreign policy m
