UK evacuated 963 people from Kabul yesterday and is planning for 1,000 more to leave the country today
But armed forces minister has been forced to admit that people will get left behind when air bridge closes
James Heappey said the airport is likely to remain open for just a few more days before troops are pulled out
It was revealed that planes are still taking off from the airstrip near-empty as the wife of a British ex-Marine boarded a Norwegian plane last night on which she was virtually the only passenger
Meanwhile Taliban guards at the airport are becoming increasingly violent to huge crowds of people waiting to leave, with one man holding US visas shot in the head yesterday
Islamists also said to be going through the crowd looking for western collaborators, while elsewhere in the country NATO and US allies have been shot and tortured to death
The UK will not be able to evacuate everyone it has promised sanctuary to from Afghanistan and the air bridge to Kabul airport may remain open for just a few more days, the armed forces minister has admitted today.
Britain has promised to evacuate some 7,000 UK citizens and Afghan staff from the country, in addition to 5,000 refugees, but James Heappey said today that 'that sad truth is, we don't have it in our gift to stay there until absolutely everyone is out'.
'The air bridge could last two more days, five more days, ten more days,' he added, insisting that the armed forces are 'working hard to maximise capacity' on every flight while revealing 963 people were taken out of Kabul on British flights yesterday with 1,000 expected to be flown out today.

No man left behind doesn’t even sound like an attainable reality.
What’s the point of a military which cannot even be engaged to defend its citizens? What is the pint of a Government that hand over its citizens to slavers?
Because this republic has become a regime of, by and for slavers. KTF KTA

Typical of (D)’s abandoning Americans no matter where.
Bidet is digging a hole to hide in underneath the basement in
Dover, Delaware.
If he digs deep enough he may get rescued by China.
THIS FOR THE UK - not that the situation in the US is any different.

Not one of those 800 Afghans we flew to safety brought an American with them to the airport to help them escape.
Most of them not only did NOT bring an American - they were unvetted.
And they left their wives and children and flew to safety and the US gravy train without them.
Who are they?

Though this is British, our State Dept is saying that 3,000 people were flown out yesterday. What they didn’t say was that about 10% - 350 - were U.S. citizens. The rest are still trapped in various places in the country.
You forgot the sarcasm tag.
Enemy soldiers sent to open a second front.
Secret committee.
If I had to guess.
Couple generals..several billionaires..maybe even Gates..Zuckerberg..various “experts” on call..Al Franken..Oprah .. influencers..drag queens..
Biden is a communist Chinese asset and he is handing Afghanistan to them. The media and our politicians are in on this treason.
Was this America’s gift to Britain?
Would not be surprised if the the Taliban started to mortar the runway (from their side of occupation) and put an end to all inbound and outbound flights.
No question.
Those remaining face a bleak future, at best as hostages or perhaps human shields around objectives the Taliban may wish to protect, and in varying degrees of greater and greater hurt, be subject to enslavement, torture, mutilations, a “choice” of becoming Muslim, or death, either slowly or quickly.
In the eyes of the Taliban, every non-Muslim, or Muslim that has in any way aided the Western powers and most especially the US, is guilty and has no reprieve, no mercy, no appeal, and is never going to walk out of there.
