NEW: Head of UK military circulated an internal message to personnel today warning “it is important that we remain apolitical and are not drawn into speculation about decisions that are for ministers to make”, acc to people familiar with the matter. CDS said in the memo: “In uncertain times, it is more important than ever that we stay focused on our duty to defend the UK and its interests across the world without fear or favour… “I look forward to welcoming our new defence secretary when they are announced.”
