Daily Mail: May 'privately admitted Britain is no longer a top-tier military force' as row over defence spending escalates

* Report said she questioned him on whether Britain should rethink its capabilities

She told Mr Williamson that he needed to rethink the capabilities needed to be a modern military force and focus more on Britain's ability to tackle any cyber warfare threats, including from Russia.
