But while the attack was more than purely demonstrative, it did not appear to signal Iran’s desire for an all-out fight.

"I want this House to be in no doubt - the prime minister has been clear that we must double down and give Ukraine the support that it needs for as long as it needs. And we will continue to work in close co-ordination with the US in our support for Ukraine."The fear is that although Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threats have turned out to be largely bluffs, allowing Ukraine to hit targets deep inside Russia with Western-supplied missiles could provoke a major escalation.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned Putin had expressed such a move would put Nato "at war" with Russia - as such strikes would ultimately be carried out not by Ukraine but by the countries that give permission for such use of missiles.Professor Justin Bronk from defence think tank the Royal United Services Institute told BBC News it is "very likely" that US President Joe Biden's belated decision to allow long-range strikes with ATACMS ballistic missiles will also enable Storm Shadow to be used in at least the same way."US objections will presumably have been dropped for them," he said.

"Russian threats are unlikely to be considered a significant deterrent at this stage, since Russia has threatened dire consequences - including allusions to nuclear attacks - repeatedly throughout the war at each stage when Western equipment has been supplied."But he said there is little reason to think that expanding the usable area for UK Storm Shadow "will make any difference" to Ukraine's ability to hit back at Russia.

He added "most of the more critical targets such as fighter bombers on Russian air bases are likely beyond the range of these missiles in practical terms - and there will be a limited number of the missiles available after lengthy combat use of the system in the war to date."

Vladimir Putin says Russia would consider an attack from a non-nuclear state that was backed by a nuclear-armed one to be a "joint attack", in what could be construed as a threat to use nuclear weapons in the war in Ukraine."She's always there - I often use little Nessa lines if I want to divert somebody.

Jones and Brydon both attended Porthcawl Comprehensive School as teenagers, where they first met."I used to do [musical theatre] at school... Rob Brydon and I were in several musicals together," she said.
