Since August, I've interviewed various vulnerable people stuck in Afghanistan, including interpreters who worked with the British, and women's rights activists.
Now we have the emails that show PM authorised the pets charity evacuation, something previously denied.

I think about all these people that I've interviewed since August all the time, I worry about them and I fear for their futures. And the Prime Minister said it was "complete nonsense" that he intervened on the pets, because he faced criticism. & he did.

That email from Lord Zac Goldsmith's private office clearly states "the PM has just authorised their staff and animals be evacuated."
He said claims he intervened were "complete nonsense."

I know there's a lot going on. But if you have five minutes today, please read some of the interviews in this thread because the people left behind in Afghanistan should be heard. They are raising their voices - we should not be ignoring them.
This email specifically refers to "the PM's decision earlier today to evacuate the staff of the Nowzad animal charity" and gives advice to the Foreign Secretary on how to enact "the Prime Minister's Nowzad decision"
