Boris Johnson will vow to to use 'every economic, political and diplomatic lever' to help Afghans.

In a statement to Parliament, which returns on Monday from its summer recess, Mr Johnson will pledge to "use every economic, political and diplomatic lever to protect our country from harm and help the Afghan people".Mr Johnson will also commend the "courage and ingenuity" of those involved in the UK's evacuation of around 15,000 people from the Afghan capital, Kabul.

Downing Street said he would announce an additional £5m to help military charities provide support for veterans with the aim of ensuring "no veteran's request for help will go unanswered". "I don't think what anybody predicted was how fragile that Afghan government was and how fragile it was in relation to the command of its armed forces."

When do MPs face the public over their handling of everything? MPs seem to be a law unto their own. They Lie, Cheat and commit fraud on a daily basis, but they seldom face prosecution for blatant offences. There needs to be tighter scrutiny on the whole of Westminster.

What’s the fucking point,he’ll just waffle a load absolute nonsense and then go home.

So what’s plan to get people left behind out.

Sadly LabourSJ the Labour Party fear mongering about Afghan and terrorist attacks, the only way The Talibums will do anything here is through Pakistan not freaking China ....

Panjshir Afghanistan needs support where is humanity to help them to stop Pakistan they are bombarding panjshir. why the world is silent about it. StandWithPanjshir SavePanjshir

He inherited this war and was a tad busy trying to get to grips with a pandemic. Guy maybe an ass but didn't see anyone else step up and take the helm.

Didn’t he do that a few weeks ago?

He has never faced up to anything in his life, the man is a charlatan.

I can save them the time... The end result...

The important thing is to set the right expectations and Boris has done that. The expectation for some time has been that anything he touches will be a monumental cock up. He's met expectation.

Pakistan Air force bomber jets currently bombing Panjshir resistance forces in support of Taliban and terrorists. The history will remember that Panjshir valley fought for the whole world against the terrorism while the world was just watching! supportPanjshir SavePanjshir

He stabbed ex army servicemen in the back and the British people should resign

Wonder if the bbc are scrutinising bidens withdrawal like they scrutinised everything Trump did doubt it .

......and they will kiss his a** and he will get away with it!

The UK is now the leader of the free world The US is a joke with Biden at the helm

if only he had woken up before the taliban took over.

The betrayal of a nation who fought with you against international terrorizm but you are completely in silence.

Why not double masked?

It sickens me, but we couldn’t stay there once the US left, this is something he isn’t responsible for. It’ll be a legacy for all the west though.

UK should never recognize or help the Taliban losers
