Keir Starmer today insisted Britain only supplies weapons to Ukraine for 'self-defence' after Storm Shadow missiles were fired on Russia for the first time.

The PM accused Vladimir Putin of wanting 'destruction not peace' as he defied threats from the Kremlin.

The statement in the Commons came as experts have cautioned that the UK should expect 'more sabotage and subversion' after the West scaled up support for Kyiv.

Russia this morning apparently fired an intercontinental ballistic missile as part of reprisals against targets in Ukraine.

It came the day after Kyiv's forces battered a Russian command headquarters in the Kursk region with British Storm Shadows.

Updating MPs after attending the G20 summit in Rio, Sir Keir stopped short of explicitly confirming the weapons had been used.

But he said the UK had 'doubled down' on its support. 'While Brazil made finding solutions to hunger and poverty the focus of its presidency, in recent weeks Russian missiles have continued to rain down on civilian ships carrying grain bound for Africa. It could not be more clear: this is a man who wants destruction not peace,' he said.

'And after 1,000 days of war, 1,000 days of Ukrainian bravery and sacrifice, I am clear that we must double down in our support. We will not be deterred or distracted by reckless threats.

'We have consistently said we'll do what it takes to support Ukraine and put it in the best possible position going into the winter.

UK wants to drag the US further into this. Parts of the US Govt, particularly State Dept., agree

This Brit and US planning and running attacks inside Russia and being cute by claiming innocence is wearing thin and not working. Starmer is certain that nobody would ever dare sink his carrier, hit the Storm Shadow factory with a hypersonic, etc.

Nobody would dare. The hubris is obvious to anyone with a sense of history. In fact, it reminds me of the Brits before we kicked them out. They were the most terrifying military of the planet. They never dreamed they would be driven out of the colonies in defeat.

We never dreamed that Japan would attack the US fleet in Hawaii. It was possible, but nobody actually believed it. They thought at most they might hit outposts in the Pacific.

Starmer is dangerous and is sure Russia would never attack them at home.

In the last week, I have seen war warnings to the populations of Germany, Finland, Sweden, the UK, and here at home. Russia warned us to not fire advanced precision missiles into Russia. We did so right away. He launched ICBMs with conventional warheads into areas we are fooling around in.

So at what point do we finally believe what we are seeing with our own eyes? They are pushing us to WWIII.

By the same token, the Russians believe they cannot be driven out of Ukraine. While it seems unlikely, it is possible the Euros will get their act together. The aftermath of that (a heavily armed up Europe) could really be problematic in the long run. The history is not good at all.
