Boris Johnson branded claims he approved a controversial airlift of animals from the collapse of Afghanistan for a charity that lobbied his wife as ‘total rhubarb’ today, amid renewed questions over their roles in the rescue.
The Prime Minister barked out the eccentric phrase on a visit to North Wales as pressure intensified over who ordered assistance to be given to former soldier Paul Farthing and his Nowzad organisation as Kabul was abandoned to the Taliban.
Mr Johnson last year denied intervening after Nowzad contacted Mrs Johnson directly for help. But Foreign Office emails released yesterday showed that he did order official help to be directed to it.
Critics have raised concerns that animals were helped out of the country’s at the expense of locals who had worked for the UK and faced bloody retribution from the Islamic extremists.
But Mr Johnson doubled down today, telling broadcasters: ‘This whole thing is absolute rhubarb.’
