The chairman of the House of Commons defence select committee has been heavily criticised by fellow Conservative MPs after he posted a video of himself in Afghanistan in which he praised the Taliban.

The video was described as “utterly bizarre” by Mark Francois, Tory MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, who also sits on the defence select committee.
