Farthing and his pet convoy stuck outside the airport behind thousands of other desperate Afghans. Now pleading directly to the Taliban to get him to the gates.

The British forces say they can do nothing. They are not considered at risk and are not, therefore, considered a priority by the US controlling the airport.

In summary, You don’t get to jump the queue over women and children just because you have a puppy on your lap. Not sure what the Taliban response will be.
