“This is good news that the spotlight is shone. But there are now questions as to how we fill the gaps,clearly, where our defence posture needs to rise.” An operation to board and seize a Russian shadow fleet tanker this morning shows the ability of British Royal Marines to “quickly” and “efficiently” confront Russia in British waters, but we have left it “very late”, says former defence minister Tobias Ellwood.
