Nowzad has been betrayed! It’s a Dunkirk moment !

Pen Farthing had hoped to get 71 people and more than 100 animals safely to the UK after raising $500,000 to charter a jet. As a British citizen, Pen is able to leave Afghanistan but has said he will not desert his staff and animals. He received assurances from Prime Minister Boris Johnson that a plane would be sent to support him. Pen had even found a way to get his staff safely to Kabul Airport, which has descended into chaos as people attempt to flee the Taliban. But now Pen is concerned his staff and animals are trapped, claiming discussions with the Ministry of Defence - which needs to give clearance for the flight to take off and land in Afghanistan - have broken down.
