Boris Johnson accused of lies over Afghanistan evacuation of Pen Farthing's animals

Boris Johnson has been accused of telling lies over the evacuation of Pen Farthing's animals from Afghanistan in the hours before the Allies withdrew from Kabul in the summer.

In what are reported to be leaked emails, Foreign Office officials appear to suggest the Prime Minister “authorised” their rescue, despite the Prime Minister previously saying it was “complete nonsense” that he had intervened.

Labour say that the new evidence shared with MPs showed Mr Johnson failed to tell the truth over how animals linked to the charity Nowzad had made their way to the UK during the Allied withdrawal from Kabul in the summer.
