Two former defence ministers have called on British forces to return to the frontline in Afghanistan to stop the Taliban taking over.
Ex-Commando Johnny Mercer and Tobias Ellwood, chairman of the Commons defence committee, are leading calls for the UK to reverse its decision to abandon the country.
