Raab insists he was engaged with Kabul evacuation on holiday
Justice Secretary Dominic Raab says he would not have gone on holiday had he known the UK would need to evacuate people from Afghanistan during the summer.
But Raab, who was foreign secretary at the time, insists he was "totally engaged" in the operation to help get as many people out of Kabul as possible.

Former top generals, Mark Milley and Kenneth McKenzie, testified about the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, blaming Biden's delayed evacuation orders.

The Australian national was taken to Belmarsh prison in London five years ago, after being dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy, where he stayed while fighting against being taken to the US.
