Boris Johnson today became the first Prime Minister in history to sit down with Britain’s nuclear test veterans.
Victims of the Cold War radiation experiments told him about early deaths, government cover-ups, and hereditary illness - and the Mirror showed him evidence of possible crimes committed by the state against its own servicemen.
He told the Mirror: "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Everybody I've heard from, thank you for your testimony. It's especially heart-rending to listen to what you have to say."
