There’s “not any probability” of the UK staying on in Afghanistan when the US leaves, the British defence secretary has mentioned.

Ben Wallace defined the lack of 6,00zero American workers in Kabul would “take away from the framework” so British workers must go away as nicely.

He warned “we’ve to take advantage of each minute” to get folks out of Kabul because the window to assist them was all the way down to “hours now, not weeks”.

He declined to take a position on how many individuals would get out earlier than Western forces left.
