Interesting to note not many statements from her on Afghanistan during her tennership and after and she had full knowledge of the withdrawal before her snipe at Boris yesterday, hindsight is a wonderful gift isn't Sir Kier and Terssa

I thought it was a wonderful speach

I thought it was a wonderful speach

As I pointed earlier in this thread, Lord Hain gave an excellent speech in the Lords where he said that all governments in the last 20 years bear responsibility and he wasn't going to get into the finger pointing at current politicians. This includes Theresa May's governments and I wonder what plans were put in place for such things as Visa's for interpreters and other vulnerable Afghansand indeed what contingency for an event such as this.

She spoke many fine words but would she have done any better when push came to shove??
