Douglas Alexander warns of 'mixed messages' on Afghanistan

Mr Alexander warned the government against sending out "mixed messages" on their plans for a withdrawal from Afghanistan.

And he suggested the Taliban could be aided if the government set a timetable for withdrawal.

"When you visit Afghanistan they tell you that the Taliban say, 'our enemies have watches but we have time.'

"And if we're sending a signal that regardless of any conditions on the ground, there will be a withdrawal of British troops from a combat role, that does represent a change of policy from what was previously the position."
