We are so badly governed

Standards among officialdom are unacceptably low. We looked yesterday at the government's woefully inadequate attempt at bargaining with the EU (Fraser Nelson suggests Sir Jon Cunliffe is partly to blame).

Today John Redwood takes the MoD to task for the number of senior officer posts it has kept while reducing the number of soldiers. He concludes that

We have a pay bill of over £400 million for top management in the army, with a diminishing number of people to command. Is this cut to the bone?

The MoD should be made to justify the present numbers, or say what cuts it is going to make, and when.

Come on you MPs, do your job.
