I can see a moratorium on all equipment that has not yet been ordered, an (even) earlier end to the C-130J, further delays to the Astute, and early retirement of the 4 remaining Trafalgar, class SSNs, probable dithering over a Trident replacement - or cancellation if there's a lib-lab-snp coalition, earlier retirement of T1 Typhoons and GR4 Tornados. Wouldn't put too much cash on Sentinel seeing out the decade either. Do we need ~400 tanks? Probably, but that won't mean we keep them. Oh, also: niggardly pay rises, further pension 'restructuring'.

That's just off the top of my head anyway.

Lots of capability holidays to come. No redundancies though, people are too busy PVRing. The Argies, amongst others, will be laughing their collective cocks off.
