“As the chaos unfolds in Afghanistan, Jack Blanchard speaks to three politicians who devoted many months of their lives to trying to secure and rebuild the war-torn nation…..”
As in my previous post on the subject, the forty minute podcast to which I provide a link below, features an interview with Rory Stewart, but this time also includes contributions from Tom Tugendhat, Tory MP and Dan Jarvis, Labour MP, both of whom served in the British Army in Afghanistan in the earlier stages of the campaign which led to the ignominious conclusion we are currently witnessing.
The link is to an episode of the always excellent, Westminster Insider, podcast. It concludes with “Times journalist Larisa Brown [discussing] her long-running campaign to secure visas for Afghan interpreters who worked with the British Army, and why it’s so important a route is now found to get them to the U.K.”
I am a retired College lecturer, having worked originally in supported programmes but latterly having taught social science subjects, Psychology and Politics, though my degree was in Sociology. I am from Newry in Northern Ireland, but now live in Dumfries in South West Scotland. https://carruchan.wordpress.com/about/
