The Henry Jackson Society is pleased to invite you to a major policy speech by the Rt Hon Jim Murphy MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Defence. In his formal remarks, the Shadow Defence Secretary will reflect on recent events in North and West Africa, assessing the threat to the United Kingdom and how UK defence policy should respond over the long-term. He will explore lessons that can be learnt from the last decade of defence policy to inform future strategy, arguing that in an era of instability, adaptability and proactive prevention must be central priorities which shape force structure, the equipment programme and expeditionary posture.

The formal remarks will be followed by a moderated Q&A. We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a major policy speech on a matter of acute and on-going consequence to the national security of the United Kingdom.
