The Liberal Democrats have called on Dominic Raab to resign as Foreign Secretary.
Layla Moran MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs, said: “Dominic Raab must resign today. If he does not, the Prime Minister should finally show some leadership, and sack him.
“Right now, there are interpreters across Afghanistan who are surrounded by the Taliban and fearing the worst.
“All the Foreign Secretary had to do was leave the beach and pick up the phone. He did not.
“He has shamed Britain and is no longer fit to represent our country.
“Dominic Raab wasn’t just asleep at the wheel. He was wilfully complacent and will go down as one of the worst Foreign Secretaries in history.
“He has personally overseen the biggest foreign policy disaster in our lifetimes, and as a result, our country is no longer as safe. He must go.”
