In today's Torygraph:
Defence chief General Sir David Richards attacks Armed Forces cuts - Telegraph
Is this a CDS on his way out? If so who will replace him as the options appear slim?
VCDS - Houghton: A Joint officer and good chap
1SL - Stanhope: Bright but not a great communicator.
RAF - not a chance after Stirrup's poor advice at SDSR
My money is on Stanhope - after all the biggest project to be delivered over the next 5 years is Carrier Enabled Power Projection.
