Stop the cuts to the Armed force numbers
Rejected

What the petition asks
Reverse the armed forces cuts in equipment and service personnel numbers. The PM in 2019 stated that there will be no cuts at all.
The cuts are going to put our armed forces at a disadvantage to other countries that threatens our security. Countries like Russia and China ate buy new equipment and upgrading their equipment plus they are expanding their capability and size, whilst we cut ours.
