Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that David Lammy wearing black trainers on suit to attend a meeting event.

Britain and America must give Ukraine the weapons it needs “to win” against Russia before a pivotal winter of fighting, the Foreign Secretary has said.

Ahead of Washington talks on long-range missile use, David Lammy told The Telegraph the coming months were “crucial” in helping Kyiv get in a winning position.

Talks between Sir Keir Starmer and Joe Biden, the US President, at the White House on Friday are expected to include discussions on whether to let Ukraine fire Storm Shadow missiles into Russia.

It came as Vladimir Putin warned that Nato and Russia would be at war if Kyiv was allowed to use longer range weapons.

Sir Keir hit back on Thursday night, saying Russia started the conflict.

It is understood Ukraine only has permission to fire the missiles, which have a range of around 150 miles, into Russian-held Crimea and near the Russian border.
