YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Cuts to the UK's military budget are having an impact on Britain's influence in the world - and are letting down our veterans.

Figures show that the defence budget has fallen by almost 20% in the last eight years, to £35 billion.

The defence secretary Gavin Williamson has called for more defence spending.

He's announced an extra £20 million for a helpline to support troops suffering from mental health problems.
