Sunak’s constituency among areas with most veterans

‘Though many of us may have never knowingly met someone who has served, we nevertheless pause at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month to commemorate, remember, and pay our respects to the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces community, past and present.’RBL and other armed forces charities have long provided support for Britain’s veterans, however there are calls for the Government to do more for those that have been sent to fight on its behalf.Last weekend, Paul Minter, a former Staff Sergeant in the British Army – who served five tours in the Middle East – called for a meeting with the new PM to demand better mental health support for those leaving the military. Downing Street did not respond to the request.With Remembrance Sunday on the horizon – and many politicians wearing poppies on their lapels – he said the Government ‘needs to do more’ for military personnel, adding: ‘If they’re going to be supporting it, then they should support it 100 percent – and not just when it suits them.’
