Drawn Into The Wider War

Drawn Into The Wider War

Author: UK Column May 19, 2026 Duration: 55:34

Charles Malet examines claims by the UK Government that there was no UK involvement in offensive action taken by Israel, and the US against Iran and all subsequent military actions have been part of a 'collective self-defence'.


Charles analyses continuous claims by the state propaganda machine that the UK will not be drawn into a 'wider war'. What is the wider war, to what extent have the British been drawn in, and where is this conflict heading?


In this special segment, illustrated with clips from retired senior British Army officer and author General Sir Richard Shirreff, Charles explores these questions and scrutinises the UK Government’s arguments to see if they stack up.

Tune in to UK Column News, a daily podcast from the independent news organisation of the same name. This isn't a recap of headlines from the mainstream wire services. Instead, the team at UK Column digs into the stories and narratives shaping public perception, focusing on what they term the 'information war.' Each episode provides analysis you're unlikely to find elsewhere, examining the interplay between government policy, media reporting, and institutional influence. Because they operate without any corporate backing, advertising, or funding from political groups, their perspective is uniquely supported by their audience through memberships and donations. This independence is the core of the podcast, allowing for straightforward commentary free from external pressures. Listeners will hear detailed discussions on current events in the UK and beyond, often connecting dots between seemingly separate issues to present a broader picture of governance and societal change. The tone is analytical and deliberate, prioritising depth over soundbites. For those seeking an alternative to conventional news cycles and curious about the mechanics behind the stories that dominate the day, this podcast offers a consistent and critical voice. It’s for anyone who questions the prevailing narrative and wants news analysis that answers to its listeners, not to sponsors or shareholders.
