Senior Conservative MP Sir Peter Tapsell told the BBC that British forces were involved in a battle which could not be won.

The former soldier said: "Of course they're overstretched and they're doing a wonderful job in the circumstances but it really is childish nonsense to think that just adding a few thousand more troops from Nato countries or from anywhere else is going to do the trick.

"We couldn't do the job if we had a hundred thousand men there."

Earlier, the new head of the British Army, Sir Richard Dannatt, warned that his soldiers can only "just" cope with the demands placed on them by ministers.
