US officials told their British counterparts: If you are “deemed not to be doing what you are told you will suddenly find out missiles won’t fire and planes won’t fly. You have got to be careful.” This will be the end of US weapons exports globally. www.thetimes.com/article/a591...

So, the links don't work anymore so i wonder if the articles been retracted.

But, assuming its not,

The Royal Air Force is focused on buying more F-35s, of which there are currently only 32, and ensuring its new combat aircraft, Tempest, secures future funding.

How does staying the course on this US led platform make sense for any partner Service?

The army source said “we need reserve bases” across the country so reservists with busy day jobs do not have to travel far to carry out training. “That will keep the number up. If you have to travel 50 miles you can’t balance that with life.”

This is a good idea that Aus should also apply. We also need to relax the conditions of 'Able' bodied, or more importantly restrict the scope by which claims can be made against the military for injuries incurred during service. Its probably overboard, and costly in manpower and resources.
