Britain’s military chief, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, insists he has not “fallen out” with the head of the army, whose impending departure has been blamed on unhappiness with cuts to the force and destructive internal politics.
Appearing before the House of Commons defence committee, Admiral Radakin denied General Sir Patrick Sanders was being “forced out” of his post for publicly expressing concern about the future of the army and the failure to invest adequately in equipment such as armour.
