- .@jon_boone was in #Afghanistan only a fortnight ago, and witnessed how far it has come since 2001 and how much is now being swept away. It is a tragic story. Read it here in @FT Link Robert Peston Thu 19 Aug 2021 08:46
- My News at Ten take on yesterday’s sombre and emotional debate in parliament is at the top of this blog Link Robert Peston Thu 19 Aug 2021 08:11
There were a number of jaw-dropping and historically significant moments in today's emergency debate on the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan and the UK's withdrawal from the failing state. For me, the most important was when Boris Johnson's predecessor as prime minister, Theresa May, asked the PM whether "our intelligence was really so poor", as not to have warned him of the high risk of rapid Taliban victory and capitulation of the country's government. Ms May does not fly kites. And as a former premier and long serving home secretary, her intelligence connections are impeccable. She would not have put this question forward if she did not have some reason to believe that the PM and Downing Street may have ignored red flags from the intelligence services.
- even more difficult for Raab to justify not returning from holiday till the early hours on Monday. The foreign secretary’s judgement is in question and his position is by no means secure. Robert Peston Thu 19 Aug 2021 07:46

- We are coming up for three hours of debate and @BorisJohnson’s and the government’s overall approach to #Afghanistan has found few if any friends. The testimony of the ex soldier MPs has been especially difficult for him Robert Peston Wed 18 Aug 2021 11:20
