RT by @jaglancy: 🚨 Since 2000, the UK's military personnel have seen a substantial reduction:

🔻 British Army: Down by 29.79% (from 109,600 to 76,950)
🔻 Royal Navy & Royal Marines: Down by 23.86% (from 42,800 to 32,590)
🔻 Royal Air Force: Down by 41.50% (from 54,600 to 31,940)

The figures, disclosed in a parliamentary written question by MP for Kilmarnock and Loudoun, @AlanBrownSNP, and answered by Parliamentary Under-Secretary for the Ministry of Defence, Andrew Murrison, paint a concerning picture of the diminishing size of the UK's forces.
