I’ve done a number of interviews on the appalling situation in Afghanistan.

Talking with Sky News I said that the immediate priority for the UK government must be to secure safe passage for British citizens and Afghans who have supported us. But the long term threat is that terrorists will use Afghanistan as a base to attack the UK. The Prime Minister must set out a strategy for strengthening our counter-terrorism capability.

Watch my Sky News interview:

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, I spoke about how the handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal has been chaotic and disastrous.

Three years ago, the Defence Select Committee demanded more UK support for Afghans who’ve supported our military and aid work. Labour has pressed UK government on this.

The Prime Minister’s primary focus must be on getting Brits and those brave Afghans out.

Watch my BBC Breakfast interview:

While on BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme, I talked about how the Afghanistan withdrawal has been a catastrophic miscalculation and an intelligence failure. But the buck stops with politicians.

Did Johnson use his close relationship with Trump to scrutinise Trump’s plan? Did he question Biden about why US is planning only for most optimistic scenario?
