TORIES HAVE FAILED TERROR SURVIVORS

A HERO who used a narwhal tusk to tackle a knife-wielding jihadist has blasted the Tories for breaking a vow to help terror survivors.

Darryn Frost and other victims were promised counselling and compensation after the London Bridge maniac killed students Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt and injured three more.

But speaking on the fourth anniversary of the attack, civil servant Darryn told us: "The promises made four years ago have still not been fulfilled. It's inexcusable. Survivors and bereaved families are still left to face the pressures that flow from the attack without the support we were promised.

Darryn, 41, was at a prison education event at Fishmongers' Hall when convicted terrorist Usman Khan, 28, launched his deadly rampage armed with two large knives and wearing a fake suicide vest on November 29, 2019.

Darryn grabbed a narwhal tusk from a display and, joined by two former prisoners, confronted the killer outside until police shot him.
