Roman Kemp slams the government as he insists they 'don't care' about mental health crisis and 'aren't doing anything' to help


The Capital FM presenter has pushed MPs for greatest resources to help young people struggling with mental health, and last month launched a new campaign, titled Here4You.

Speaking to The Mirror on the set of his new BBC quiz show The Finish Line, Roman claimed the government 'doesn't care' about the mental health crisis and they've failed to help his campaign to have designated support teams in schools.
