Enda Brady: UK correspondent on the decline of the British Army - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The UK's Defence Secretary has confirmed the British Army is in decline and is no longer regarded as a top-level fighting force.

This has come off the back of a US general warning that the British Army's decline needs to be reversed faster in wake of the Russia-Ukraine war.

UK correspondent Enda Brady says this decline is the result of successive conservative governments slashing funding to the British army over the years.
