Steve Purse and Alan Owen appeared on BBC Newsnight last night. This is Alan's message to Keir Starmer. He has abandoned the Nuclear Test Veterans, as every other Prime Minister has. He promised he wouldn't, but he has. How much longer can he ignore the longest-running scandal in British History?

The Prime Minister is still ignoring the Nuclear Test Veterans and has not met with them since taking office. These brave servicemen have been airbrushed from history. We made this video last year and nothing has changed, 72 years is now 73 years. When will the UK Government admit their failings?
