It comes as reports suggest Dominic Raab stayed on holiday two days after being told to return to deal with the Afghan crisis.

Lord Carrington was competent and not on holiday when the proverbial hit the fan, but he resigned anyway.

“All the while we have a Foreign Secretary who is more occupied with having pina coladas by the pool as opposed to picking up the phone to help Afghan interpreters who helped our soldiers there in Afghanistan."

The PM also said the government has been "working virtually around the clock" to sort out the situation.

Top civil servants at the Foreign Office, the Home Office and the Ministry of Defence are all on leave.

'Dominic Raab takes decisive action, by pretending to do the thing that he failed to do," tweeted one person.

Would Raab class ignoring a call to save Afghans, while on a beach, as laziness?

The foreign secretary declined to call his Afghan counterpart while on holiday in Crete.

Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokeswoman Layla Moran said: 'Dominic Raab must resign today. If he does not, the Prime Minister should finally show some leadership, and sack him.'
