I am astonished at what I am hearing on @LBC right now about #OperationArk and the peddling of the narrative that it diverted manpower and focus on the ground in Kabul and within government. The narrative is now turning towards the 1,000 Afghans left behind to an uncertain fate…
…all being blamed on Pen Farthing. This is making my blood boil yet again.
The evacuation has not been handled well by the government from start to finish.
The government ignored intelligence that the Taliban take over was immunity and took action too late in the day.

I didn’t want to have a go at anyone after yesterday’s attacks in Kabul but it wasn’t the right time. Innocent people died and thoughts were rightly with them and the GOOD people of Kabul.
However, I cannot stand back and watch Ben Wallace continue to peddle his twisted narrative of lies and smokescreen. He is now resorting to throwing @domdyer70 under the bus in front of his friend @PenFarthing at his moment of greatest distress.

As of the situation for team #nowzad not perilous enough there are unsubstantiated rumours that the MOD have cancelled non military flights into Kabul airport including @PenFarthing charter flight due to terror threat.
I repeat - this is an unsubstantiated rumour at the moment and not yet confirmed.
If this is true then the 24 delay caused by Ben Wallace may prove to be the difference between getting team #nowzad out and their certain harm or even death.

👏🏻
Could not agree more.
Lions led by idiots.
Wallace and Raab too busy defending themselves and peddling lies to get an effective grip of the matter on the ground.
Unforgivable behaviour from public serving ministers unfit to hold office.
They have blood on their hands.
