It seems pretty much a certainty that Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister. Exactly when it happens depends on a few factors. We outline some of the reasons an early general election is likely.

All the like minded? Boris.. Your the UKs Prime Minister.. Not the emperor of the world.. Stay in your lane.. If you want other sovereign nations to listen to you then do it through diplomacy and treaties.. Stop dictating.. For a nation that couldn't stay in its own continents union.. You sure seem to forget the sovereignty of other nations who have made no commitments to letting the UK leads its foreign agenda in any way.

The problem with Afghanistan is, that our largest NATO ally dragged us into the country under article 5. Then nearly 20 years later they pulled out their military, collapsing the ANA, leaving their equipment to re-equip the Taliban and dropping us their allies in the smelly stuff. With the Afghan allies up a creek of the stuff with no paddle.

Without any consultation with the existing Afghan government, Trump originally signed a peace-accord with the Taliban, in Qatar, on 29th February 2020 that announced the complete US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 14 months, providing the Taliban kept to their side of the agreement. Well 14 months have been and gone and now Biden has had to follow Trump's peace-accord and he announced the formal withdrawal of the US forces in April 2021. So everyone knew it was coming – it wasn't a surprise and guess what, we don't seem to have had an effective withdrawal exit-plan in place – but what's new, do we ever….

I strongly believe Dominic Raab should resign for his complacency during this crisis, either the foreign minister or PM need to able to respond to a crisis immediately.
A lot of people are trying to dismiss his negligence on the grounds of "he knew his actions wouldn't change things anyway" and it's merely scapegoating – whereas this may have been the case, this attitude is defeatist and makes the public lose faith in our elected representatives (which is already in very short supply following Matt Hannock's affair scandal, Cummings interview, unilaterally altering the Brexit deal – damaging our negotiating reputation on a global stage). Democracies rely on voters trusting their leaders to properly function.
More cynically, Boris Johnson is probably weighing his options with Raab right now – most likely Raab won't be 'encouraged' to resign, since he was also on holiday – not ideal circumstances for creating a scapegoat. However this will definitely give Raab some baggage from now on.

Oh guys, the UK still deserves to be honoured to have tried to save their Afghan friends. In South Korea, you can not find any voice concerning Korean's Afghan friends who worked with us during South Korean military presence from 2010 to 2014. It is a shame on my country that betrays our friends and formal coworkers and leave them in the Taliban's control. Fxck.

Johnson saying the government was not surprised by the speed of the Taliban advance is absolute trollop. To claim that there was an evacuation planning months in advance is completely misleading parliament, evident by the fact that the current evacuation operation is an absolute shambles with little to no cooperation between UK and US forces. If this outcome was expected, why an earth were the Prime Minister and Deputy prime minister away on holiday?!

The british be like: "We have successfully signed a trade agreement with the talibans. We give them weapons to use against westerners, and they give us opium and carpets. This deal solidifies Britain's new position as a global trading powerhouse and proves once again the endless possibilities the UK benefits from outside of the EU".
@paulaseabee8442
December 29, 2023 at 4:33 pm
There's the issue that the Government refuses to address:
"We'll do absolutely anything in our power to help …"
(Dominic Raab refuses to answer call of the Afghan official) "There was nothing we could do so I didn't take the call".
So, we could do nothing but leave if the US left. We have no influence or power with the Nu-Taliban. And the government couldn't care less.
And the trouble with sanctions is they hit the poorest and most needy while the Taliban won't feel a thing.
