   What more have these people got to do to show the rest of us their fighting spirit and their ability to win? Look at what they have achieved in the Kursk region, the audacity of their lunge on to Russian land, taking more than 500 square miles and 100 villages, creating a strategic dilemma for Putin that will only intensify as the autumn rains begin and the fighting season draws to a close.

   Then think what more they could have done, and faster, to turn the tables on Putin, if only we had not been dilatory with our help. Then ask yourself the corollary question: how many Ukrainian lives and limbs could have been spared if we had done the right thing, or at least done it earlier. When you look at the maimed bodies of these soldiers, you are looking at a ghastly reproach to our delay.

   So why are we doing it again? What’s the hold-up with Storm Shadow and the permissions to use them against Putin’s bases within Russia? Can we please all stop babbling this tired old rubbish about ‘escalation’ and the so-called fear of provoking Putin. That argument has been mounted at every stage in the past three years, and at every stage it has been disproved by events.
