THERESA May is preparing to name Russia as responsible for the chemical weapons outrage in Salisbury after confirmation from spy chiefs. The PMs explosive move will plunge relations between London and Moscow into their worst crisis since the end of the Cold War.
A key intelligence assessment of who was behind the nerve agent poisoning is being delivered to No10 overnight, to be on PMs desk in the morning.
In their report to Mrs May, The Sun has learned that MI5 and MI6 chiefs will cite the very rare substance used on ex-spy Sergei Skripal and daughter Yulia as key evidence of the Kremlins involvement. It is believed to have been developed in the SVR Russian foreign spy services notorious Yasenevo laboratory.
Mrs May will then summon an emergency meeting of her National Security Council at 11am to decide on the scale of Britains retaliation.
