No one wants Afghanistan to become 'breeding ground for terror' - PM Boris Johnson
The situation is "extremely difficult" in Afghanistan and is "getting more difficult", said Mr Johnson.
The prime minister said he wanted to make sure other like-minded nations did not "prematurely" recognise the Taliban. He admitted the US decision to pull out of the country had "accelerated things" in Afghanistan but said "we've known for a long time this was the way things would go". Mr Johnson said the UK was "working very fast" on getting people out of the country, adding: "We certainly have the means at the moment to get them out."
In what will be an emotive debate, many MPs will stress the sacrifices already made over the past 20 years, and the obligation they believe this country owes to the people of Afghanistan.
