Tory frontbencher 'would support' allowing Ukraine's use of Storm Shadow missiles



Shadow home secretary Chris Philps discusses Ukraine’s use of Storm Shadow missiles, the farming protests, a social media ban and the shoplifting epidemic.

Speaking about Ukraine, Mr Philps says: “I think we should be doing everything we possibly can to support Ukraine in this dark hour.”

He added: “They have been invaded by their neighbour, they have every right to defend themselves and I think we should do everything to support them.”

  1. This not looking good for ukraine and the us because Russia is going used heavier weapons wich wil turn ukraine in an apocalypse in no time. The response will be deadly and terrible what we ever seen since the start of this war

  2. How stupid, even MAD, can people be?

    Wars have always been, and if history is anything to go by, wars will always be.

    Ever since sticks and stones has there been Tribalism, Nationalism and Religious wars some if not most led by madmen.

    Thermo nuclear war is ahead of us because it appears that deterrence is failing.

    Today we see two wars going on in the World.

    Tomorrow, wars are guaranteed, unless the human psyche changes…

    Psyche refers to the totality of the human mind, encompassing both conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviours

  3. If Putin had not invaded, no doubt Ukraine would be part of NATO armed to the teeth, even perhaps having nuclear weapons as the Ukrainians have the know how.
    Putin said this was unacceptable as it was an existential threat to Russia.
    As we see today, this is exactly the situation that Ukraine is in, armed by the west and firing long range missiles into Russia albeit in self defence.
    The Ukrainians are sworn enemies of Russia, so this war was inevitable.
    Putin said, he wanted Ukraine to be an unarmed neutral country and not a member of NATO and wouild accept nothing less.
    The reality is somewhat different….

  4. Ukraine has "The right to defend themselves?". However ATACMS is a weapon supplied and operated by the US military using US satellite guidance data. And it is an attack against Russia rather than self defence and its not themself either. It is one thing to supply weapons to Ukraine to attack oncoming troops. It might not be the way our "leaders" see it, but it is the way the Russians see it. Russia has 3500 nuclear warheads. The US has 2500 nuclear warheads. Nobody wars with these countries because they both have the capacity to destroy not just each other but the whole world too. And expect China to be on overdrive to build up its nuclear arsenal to be on parity with the US because the new tensions over Taiwan.

  5. The CIA started this war in Ukraine to overthrow the "Dictatorship" in Russia. NATO has no right to be in Ukraine. Russia has a RIGHT to defend itself from the Western disease. Look what America has become – a joke !

  6. The UK police has no CCTV video footage to prove the involvement of Russian citizens Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov in the March 4, 2018 Salisbury incident, according to a report published as part of the public inquiry hearing into the case.

    According to the report, CCTV cams were not installed on Christie Miller road in Salisbury, where former spy Sergey Skripal and his daughter Yulia lived at the time of the attack.

    At the same time, the police suggests that the perpetrators smeared the doorknob with the Novichok agent on March 4, 2018, during their second visit to Salisbury.

    The document says that Petrov and Boshirov arrived in Salisbury at 11:45 a.m. on March 4, 2018. Police suspects them of using Novichok between 12:00 and 12:15 p.m., but have no evidence to substantiate their claims. Only at 12:16 were Petrov and Boshirov caught on a CCTV cam at a nearby road. Sergey and Yulia Skripal were at home over that period, the report says.

  7. WW3 is inevitable because our entire histories are forged by war, but when that happens is strictly dependent on decisions made, UK and USA should tread more carefully, I'm just a working class brit with more brains than our current leaders it seems.

  8. When Russia retaliates against British assets, we shall see how much enthusiasm there will be….

    In 2023, they said ATACAMS and Storm Shadows would allow Ukraine to take Crimea, for weeks they made noise about how the Kerch bridge was being brought down and Russian troops would be cut off and Ukraine would capture them. But the Ukrainians could not cross the first defence barricade of the Surovikin line, and now the Russians are moving forward in 2024.

    Cluster bombs and F16s were said to be a game changer, but that fizzled out. Now, they are throwing their last arrows into Russia before Trump takes over, and Russians complete the rout of Ukraine.

  9. Russia has been making rapid gains on Ukrainian soil. Biden's approval of ATACMS and such has come too late. When Trump takes over, Russia has the upper hand and a truce involving losing territory faces Zelensky.

  10. The answer is in the Headline. He has no Problem with Ukraine Defending Its Self. Self would mean No Weapons from other Countries. That Use the Military of the Country Supplying the Missiles to Program the Missiles to the Target. That also Use there Satellite Systems to Direct the Missiles to the Target. That is not Defending themselves. At best its Escalation or Outside Influence. Support does not mean Risking WW3 and Billions of Lives put at Risk. For WHAT is the Question they need to Answer. Because its got Sweet Fanny Adams to do with Freedom for Ukraine
