This has not ended well. See:

If the Tory Defence Secretary, Wallace, had approved the private charter flight more quickly, they could all have been safely in the UK by now. Now, it is too late. I do not blame Biden, as he gave notice that the 31 August deadline would not be changed and the Taliban would have attacked if he had changed his mind. BUT Wallace had enough time to approve the charter flight before that, but kept on blabbering nonsense about "people before pets". He is to blame if Pen, his staff and the animals die or are killed.
