It has been a remarkable effort in unimaginably difficult circumstances with many acts of courage and heroism. However, with the withdrawal we face the heart-breaking reality that people have been left behind, including many to whom we owe so much. — PolitiTweet.org

Soldiers and airmen, diplomats and embassy staff, working side by side with many Afghans have struggled tirelessly and bravely under immense pressure to get as many people to safety as possible. Their efforts must be widely recognised and honoured. — PolitiTweet.org

Amid the chaos, there have been many acts of courage. The Ambassador staying at his post to process every case he could. Paratroopers lifting people from the crush. Afghan soldiers who continue to serve alongside us to the end. — PolitiTweet.org

After the despicable acts of violence we witnessed on Thursday, the end of the evacuation from Kabul Airport marks a sad and dark day for many people in Afghanistan. [Thread] — PolitiTweet.org

Devastating reports from Kabul. Our thoughts are with all those killed and wounded, serving personnel supporting the evacuations and all those desperately trying to leave. The bravery of the troops at the airport will always outweigh the cowardice of those who wish to harm us. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations @DameSarahStorey on your incredible start in #Tokyo2020. A fantastic achievement - @ParalympicsGB we are with you all the way.🥇 https://t.co/LgdDfU2t6f — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @UniteSharon on her election as General Secretary of Unite - the first ever woman to hold that role. I’m looking forward to working together to improve the lives of working people across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

This is utterly devastating testimony from gay Afghans in fear of their lives. As G7 leaders meet today it is imperative Britain works with our allies to ensure all those whose lives are under threat from the Taliban have safe passage out of Afghanistan. https://t.co/XKHGlVtuOg — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing the best of luck to the @ParalympicsGB team. Despite the huge challenges of the last 18 months, you've made it to #Tokyo2020 and I know you're going to do everyone back home proud. #ImpossibleToIgnore #Paralympics https://t.co/ly9NeyX5dG — PolitiTweet.org

As the situation in Afghanistan continues to worsen and the deadline for US withdrawal approaches, Boris Johnson must answer urgent questions about the evacuation operation in Kabul. Proper planning is essential if we are to ensure no one to whom we owe so much is left behind. https://t.co/aBk5J8AWqj — PolitiTweet.org

Brave and powerful testimony from @DearZari. Access to education for Afghan women and girls cannot be squandered now. — PolitiTweet.org

Eleven years of the Tories have held back children from experiencing and excelling in the arts. Labour’s “ten by ten” ambition is for all children to enjoy life-enhancing experiences like competitive sports or playing an instrument by the time they are 10.https://t.co/ark2VlDOYo — PolitiTweet.org

This week I met with @BCCCmembers in Wolverhampton. They told me about the challenges they've faced, and difficulties accessing government schemes, like Kick Start. Businesses must be at the heart of our recovery as we create the jobs of the future and a more resilient economy. https://t.co/r6ZXBZ13wX — PolitiTweet.org

Sport can inspire young people and give them incredible role models - like those I met at the @wwc_wrestling. Too many clubs have closed as the Tories cut £660m from youth services since 2011 but Ranjit Singh has created an inspiring space for young people to play and develop. https://t.co/sRZVwlesrP — PolitiTweet.org

From police officers who work to keep communities safe to youth workers who are incredible role models and give young people the opportunities to succeed, I was truly inspired by the people I met in Wolverhampton. https://t.co/OAyCYlySnj — PolitiTweet.org

Boris Johnson has announced a Resettlement Programme that doesn't meet the scale of the crisis or obligation we owe to the Afghan people. It's vague and will support just 5,000 refugees in the first year. We must provide safe and legal routes for people fleeing the Taliban. — PolitiTweet.org
