Tory leader David Cameron will set up a "war Cabinet" to deal with the Afghan conflict if he wins the general election, he has revealed.

The select group - comprising top ministers, armed forces and intelligence chiefs - would meet "from minute one, hour one, day one that I walk through the door of Downing Street if I am elected", Mr Cameron told The Sun.

He said: "Our military is at war in Afghanistan, but quite frankly, Whitehall isn't."
