One minister calls the foreign secretary’s position ‘untenable’ after claims he effectively disappeared during the collapse of Afghanistan
Dominic Raab is facing increasing pressure to resign, including from some of his own MPs, after claims he effectively disappeared for more than a week while on holiday during the collapse of Afghanistan, delegating almost all duties to juniors.
With Raab’s department not denying he asked another minister to make a call on Friday to assist the evacuation of former British military translators while he was in Crete, Labour, the Liberal Democrats and SNP demanded Boris Johnson sack his foreign secretary if he does not decide to quit.
