PM 'fingers all over' decision to evacuate pets from Kabul, says MP – video

The head of the Foreign Office has been accused of covering up the prime minister's involvement in the decision to evacuate pets from Kabul at a select committee hearing.

Labour MP Chris Bryant made the accusation to Sir Philip Barton and read out a leaked letter from Boris Johnson's parliamentary private secretary which he said implied Johnson's 'fingers' were 'all over' the controversial decision.

Barton did not accept the charge and, in a separate interview, Johnson dismissed the accusation that he was involved as 'complete nonsense'
