Sir Richard Knighton made some incredibly important points to the Lords International Relations and Defence Committee this morning.
He told the Committee that under Labour's spending plans, the army would "have to dial back our activities and our exercise and operational activity".
That should worry anyone who cares about the UK's defence.
But it is not just more money the armed forces need; we also need reform of how it uses the money it is given and how new equipment is developed and procured.
I wrote about this in the Telegraph here 👇🏻

As my followers know I always try to visit the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s cemeteries wherever I visit. Last week Somaliland. This week Isles of Scilly. The graves were within an existing local cemetery and surprisingly a little overgrown. @CWGC

I own a flag.
I inherited it from my mother.
Here is a picture of the actual flag used by my mother c. 8th May 1945 in VE Day celebrations locally.
