An emotional call from a soldier who served in Afghanistan and Iraq highlighted the need for a Helpline for Heroes.
Mark from Southampton called Maajid to say the helpline was a step in the right direction but that the MoD needed to do more to support its troops.
Mark spoke through tears to LBC describing what he termed a “hard tour” with “suicide attacks” and his “treatment for many years”.
Heroic British troops suffering battlefield stress will be able to turn to a dedicated round-the-clock helpline for the first time.
It’s thanks to a campaign from The Mail on Sunday.
