The Conservative former prime minister suggested her successor and party colleague Boris Johnson had hoped “on a wing and a prayer it’d be all right on the night” once the United States and its allies had withdrawn from Afghanistan.

The UK hostile environment immigration policy and the windrush scandal.
War makes money?? Simple as!
Theresa May! A PM so inept and useless she only had a 1 point lead over the abysmal fantasist and racist (of course it’s only antisemitism which is “Cool” racism )Corbyn. Her manifesto pledges to means test OAP winter fuel allowance and bring back fox hunting more than underlined her credentials as a hopeless politician
I’m a little concerned about some editing in this video. While Trump did agree to the withdrawal, note that May also mentioned he did a deal with the Taliban – and the important part was conditions in terms of getting US citizens out of Afghanistan. And furthermore left-wing direction at the time was also to end wars (STOP WAR!) in Afghanistan (among others) as well. The failure Biden has done here was the sheer mess in the way he withdrew from Afghanistan. And the question is whether Trump would have taken a more aggressive stance against any games played by the Taliban (at least towards the citizens of the US still in Afghanistan).
I do agree that Boris Johnson should resign for the mess this as caused, especially when there is a migration crisis and he does not show his leadership in preventing it.
The politicians take responsibility ! Unlikely…billions and billions wasted.
