Boris Johnson has faced a barrage of criticism from MPs over the United Kingdom's role in Afghanistan at an emergency House of Commons debate on the crisis.
Mr Johnson argued Nato's "Core mission" in Afghanistan had succeeded.
Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, who chairs the Commons foreign affairs committee and himself, served in Afghanistan, said it had been "Shameful" of US President Joe Biden to question the willingness of the Afghan army to fight the Taliban.
Another Conservative MP and former soldier, defence committee chairman Tobias Ellwood, argued the UK "Should never have left" Afghanistan.
Mr Johnson received little backbench support during the debate but, Conservative Alicia Kearns said the government had "Called for Nato allies to help us build a new coalition in Afghanistan to prevent the Taliban recapturing it, and we were let down".
Fellow Tory Caroline Nokes praised the prime minister for putting in place a scheme to "Ensure that we can prioritise women and girls" in Afghanistan "And bring them to safety".
SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford argued that the future of Afghanistan had "Never been so uncertain" and that refugees needed more help.
