No time to lose, Bozo

-

THE situation for those desperate to escape Afghanista­n is getting ever more perilous.

They may only just have 72 hours to get on a plane out of the country before the Taliban block all routes out.

Today we report how the SAS and UK security services are trying to free people before that deadline.

But it looks increasing­ly likely many will not escape.

And that leaves them at the mercy of the ruthless Taliban.

Many could be executed.

If that happens, there can be no doubt Boris and his Government will have blood on their hands.

This is not the first time the PM was asleep at the wheel.

When there were serious concerns about a new killer virus about to hit the UK, Bozo missed a number of key Cobra meetings about the crisis.

His dillydally­ing and faffing have led many to accuse him of being too late to react.

This time, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab was on a luxury holiday while the Taliban took over Afghanista­n.

Boris again took no responsibi­lity for this disaster and backed the minister who dropped the ball.

He needs to show some leadership now to make sure everyone who should be on a plane gets on a plane this week.

And he should get rid of Raab – he is BAAD at his job and should be SAACKED.
