Sir Jock to be new CDS
Apparently Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup takes over from Gen Sir Michael Walker as CDS today.
Sir Jock strikes me as a great leader who struggles to maintain a strong RAF despite Buff's pacifist- and Treasury-pleasing slashing of our Armed Forces. Every time I see him (Sir Jock, not The Lone Braincell) I'm impressed by the way he deals with the media - a great ambassador for the Service. And this time, I think we can be sure we have an RAF CDS who will not resign his Commission for playing around...
Good luck, Sir Jock!
(I wait with bated breath for TotalWar to rise up in defence of Buff...)
Oh... who for CAS?
