The whole team & dogs/cats were safely 300m inside the airport perimeter. We were turned away as @JoeBiden @POTUS had changed paperwork rules just 2 hours earlier. Went through hell to get there & we were turned away into the chaos of those devastating explosions. #OperationArk

Yes I managed to get the animals of @Nowzad on a flight to safety. I couldnโ€™t take my staff as the Taliban put an AK47 in my face & told me they were staying. Not much I could do. BUT that does not mean we have given up. It was always and will BE โ€˜people & animalsโ€™ #OperationArk

Struggling today to deal with the sacrifice of the last 20 years & then we just abandoned Afghanistan for what? Remembering those who never came home. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them."

Life likes to throw us curve balls, now and againโ€ฆ. And how we deal with them determines who we are. Now I have no dramas telling you all that I thought mentally I was hard AF. Turns out I wasnโ€™t. The last year has been a stress test from hell that I have not handled wellโ€ฆ

Never thought I would be in the British Cemetery in Kabul again on #RemembranceSunday & I have to be honest; looking at the list of names on the wall behind me & knowing who we put back in power in Afghanistan, begs the question; โ€˜What was the point of this sacrifice? ๐Ÿ˜ข

No @RhonddaBryant he didnโ€™t authorise the evacuation of animals over people. No-one failed to be evacuated because of me or the rescued animals we cared for. Please prove your tweet or I shall be taking this further. Sick to death of MPs using me for pathetic political games

Boris Johnson said he didnโ€™t authorise the evacuation of animals over humans from Afghanistan. The PM promised he had no involvement in this case.

An absolute hero of a leader. It is unthinkable that Russia is still presiding over the UN Security Council. Sadly the world must come together to deter #Putin but it wonโ€™t. What else can we ordinary people do to support the people of Ukraine? #IStandWithUkraine #Ukraine
