Having been sacked by text a day before resigning, Johnny Mercer has come out guns blazing.
He has though, notably avoided having a go directly at Boris; thus leaving the door slightly ajar for a return one day to ministerial office.
Mercer says the PM himself wants to do the right thing for veterans, but hasn’t yet. “I think Boris Johnson is deeply committed to this agenda. I think he wants to deliver it. He recognises the injustice of it. But the truth is that nothing has been done".
