Expect to get the everyday perspective on why and how Johnny became a politican, what it was like being 'banged up' with a hitman on TV, Johnny's real thoughts on politics, his view on the NHS and if doctors should be striking, the issue with men's mental health and much more... Johnny Mercer is a British Politician, Minister of State for Veterans’ Affairs and former Army Officer, serving 13 years in the UK Commandos. Fighting in the Afghanistan war, he was fed up of politicians who said one thing and did another. He’d never voted before, and knew nothing about local politics but decided to become one as he saw it was the best platform to create positive change.
