David Cameron has produced yet another variation over the 70,000 moderate Syrian ground troops who allegedly stand ready to work in tandem with the US, the UK and other allied forces in retaking the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa.
Cameron was repeatedly asked on Wednesday by MPs to specify which groups would make up this force, how many of them were on the extremist end of the scale and how many were in the south, far removed from the fight against Raqqa.
He said that he could not provide specific answers because the information was intelligence-based and if it was known which groups might ally themselves with the US-led coalition, it could put their safety at risk.
