John Mason made the remarks as Boris Johnson faced fierce criticism from senior Tories and defended the final pull-out of British troops as the international military mission in Afghanistan came to an end during a House of Commons debate today. As a result, the Western-backed Afghanistan Government fell to the Taliban on Sunday causing thousands of Afghani people to flee.
The Glasgow Shettleston MSP, said during a speech today on Twitter: “Britain has been too quick to interfere in other countries.

Elsewhere, Alba MP Neale Hanvey was forced to delete a tweet after being branded “disgusting” after linking a debate around trans rights in Scotland to the Afghanistan crisis.
The Kirkcaldy MP posted on Twitter: “Not to diminish the extant horrors in Afghanistan for women, girls and LGBT people in any way, but Ian Blackford opining on protecting women and girls is a tough listen given the deaf ears to such concerns at home.”
But Maggie Chapman MSP, Scottish Greens equalities spokesperson, said: “This is a disgusting tweet.
“What Hanvey can’t seem to understand is that feminism is about solidarity.
“Solidarity with our trans siblings, but also solidarity with the women and LGBT people around the world who face violence and oppression.”
A spokesperson for Mr Hanvey declined to comment when approached.
But Mr Hanvey later posted: “Many women in Scotland feel their rights are under attack.
“Only last week the Scottish Government published new guidance to allow children as young as four to change their gender without parental knowledge or consent.
"However important this debate is to the rights of women, girls and many in the LGBT community across Scotland, it is right today to focus on the Afghanistan debate.”
The SNP did not respond to a request for comment.
