What utter wanquerre came up with the stupid term 'capability holiday'?

In the last year or so, the UK has lost:

Sea Harrier (radar equipped naval fighter) - replaced by.....nothing

PR9 (high/low level photo recce platform) - replaced by.....nothing

Jaguar (strike fighter/bomber) - replaced by.....nothing

Who on earth is in charge of such lunacy? It's not as though we're living in particularly peaceful times and can afford to lose such assets.
