Johnson has come under fresh pressure after a leaked email emerged suggesting he had “authorised” the evacuation of animals from Pen Farthing’s Nowzad charity.

Boris Johnson has denied personally intervening to authorise the evacuation of dogs from Afghanistan.

The mission coincided with Operation Pitting, which saw the RAF manage to evacuate thousands of British citizens trapped in Kabul.Asked about his involvement during a visit to Wales, the PM said: “This whole thing is total rhubarb. I was very proud of what our armed services did with Op Pitting and it was an amazing thing to move 15,000 people out of Kabul in the way that we did.

The row reignited on Wednesday when the Commons foreign affairs committee published an email in which a Foreign Office official said “the PM has just authorised” the animal evacuation. “He should never have given priority to flying animals out of Afghanistan while Afghans who worked for our armed forces were left behind.”
