Provided the refugees are genuine (which I presume most will be) I can't see a massive amount of political friction in this point.
the only Mail I read is my emails ... and the football pages in the Oxford Mail .... wouldn't even touch the Daily
There is only so much you can do "remotely"..... unless you want Johnson & Raab on the gate of Kabul Airport with guns?
Then they`ll get slated for "not sorting out XYZ at home".
End of the day they, just like you & I, are doing their bit and we get annual leave.
Yes please. Having seen what happened when Johnson tried to use a mop I’m very much up for handing him a machine gun.

For which I apologiseAn adult man telling someone to grow up, yet also calling people "c**t" and "prick" on an internet message board.

I agree. Such language should be reserved for the likes of Rabb and Johnson.

Tbf @Sarge all of Parliament whether public educated or not they’re all spineless, accusing one another for the previous government’s over issues.

Annual leave? Whats that? ...my boss is a slavedriver* .... Ive not had a holiday for over 7 years now (and it was 20 +years prior to that my previous holiday)
*Im self employed
But tbf it doesn’t help when the bloody yanks pull out with the attitude f**k everyone else, Britain was only a small force and if we had stayed to try and help quickly because of the way the speed of the withdrawal we would have lost more lives in a pointless conflict.You're still defending the indefensible.
Yes it matters where he is as he is supposed to be doing his job and co-ordinating/creating the strategy in a fast moving situation. Making quick decisions in person will be so much quicker than making multiple calls and his data will be up to date as well. He is supposed to be the lead for the country in any major international crisis but was pretty much absent. I doubt co-ordinating from the beach is that efficient.
As for leave, he can go back on holiday afterwards, this situation is a key part of his job, pretty much one of the main parts. Pretty much every Foreign Secretary has returned from leave in such circumstances.
He couldn't be arsed to make a phone call whilst on holiday to try to help save Afghan interpreters' lives who have helped our forces/officials, a phone call FFS which he was told he had to make to have an impact by those who understand such things:
Foreign secretary Dominic Raab rejects calls to quit over Afghan interpreters
The foreign secretary is under fire for not personally asking for help to evacuate interpreters.www.bbc.co.uk
Imo, he should go as he has demonstrated he can't do the job and the evacuation is chaos for all the good work by British forces on the ground. But at least he had a longer holiday.....
Not that I need to defend @eaststandboy, @Malc, or myself, but I was watching this thread, and saw the initial post, the posters pick up on it, plus the reaction and acknowledgement of wrongdoing. The forum often self-moderates and personally speaking I'm happy to sit back when it does.
