Liz Truss has been told she can win back some of her lost credibility if she honours promises made to Britain's nuclear testing heroes.
The Prime Minister told the Mirror in August she'd back a medal and wider recognition for veterans of Cold War radiation experiments, but since she arrived in No10 she has sacked the civil servant in charge of medals, fired the veterans minister fighting for them, and ignored requests to meet survivors.
Labour's Rebecca Long-Bailey, who for the past 18 months has joined the Mirror in campaigning for recognition of the atomic veterans, says they should not have to wait for a change of government to see progress.
